As an exciting part of the establishment of the South Wales Trauma Network, there is a requirement for Health Boards to ensure an enhancement of major trauma care and coordination in the Trauma Units (TU's), as these hospitals will continue to manage a significant proportion of major trauma patients and will receive patients from the Major Trauma Centre (MTC) for 'care closer to home.'
Aneurin Bevan Health Board will have a TU's located at GUH.
The unit will have an important role to play in the structure of the network. The purpose of a TU is to provide care for injured patients through:
Optimisation of definitive care of injured patients. It has an active, effective trauma quality improvement programme. It also provides a managed transition to rehabilitation and the community.
Having systems in place to rapidly move the most severely injured to hospitals that can manage their injuries.
Having systems in place to repatriate patients from the MTC.
Provision of specialist services to trauma patients where relevant.
Working together as a team within the South East Wales Trauma Network.
This post is part time, permanent, covering 15 hours over 2 days of Monday to Friday working with flexibility within the team and bank holiday cover.
If you are interested in applying for the position please contact Claire Parkes.
