Thanks Darren for that info.
I understand that our 'little' unit in the the center of W Yorks has just as
good an outcome as any where else (In the 'Yorkshire TARNS), when it comes to
trauma! Our 'W' value is well up!
What needs to be demonstrated is is better outcome by direct transfer to
'Teaching Hospital'.
I believe this would be v complex, with lots of variables - are you able to
demonstrate that 'direct transfer' by land or air is of benefit, for (say) ISS
>16.
This would be an interesting study, for which I would be impartial to results.
