About
On August the 31st the Stryker South East trauma team, will meet at St Mary's hospital in Paddington and walk a 20 mile route across and around London, which will take us to each of the London Major Trauma Centre's
St Marys, St George's, Kings College Hospital and the Royal London hospital.
We will be doing this hoping to raise money and awareness for Day One trauma support.
Please read below for further about this charity.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this and for any donation you are able to make, however small, to help us reach our goal.
Major trauma cases
There are around 20,000 major trauma cases in England and Wales every year and the average age of patients is just under 40 years old. Sadly around 16,000 people in England and Wales die every year following injury (according to the Trauma Audit and Research Network, 2021).
The introduction of Major Trauma Centres in 2014 vastly improved the care and clinical outcomes of this group of patients, increasing chances of survival by 19 per cent and reducing time spent in hospital.
Despite the excellent clinical care that patients receive in an NHS Major Trauma Centre, care predominantly focuses on treating the physical injuries, rather than addressing the wider impact which a major traumatic injury can have on life beyond admission to hospital, which in reality, could be changed beyond all comprehension.
Day One Trauma Support provides access to a range of practical and emotional support services which can help people who have suffered a major traumatic injury to navigate the challenges that they are likely to face. We are also here for family members and carers.
