The grapevine informs me that the British Association of Orthopods are leading an advisory panel suggesting that hospitals with A&E depts be graded on the level of trauma team support provided. Level 1: Full supporting services on site (neuro etc.) Level 2: 24 hour consultant led trauma team support Level 3: Anything less Ambulances would bypass level 3 hospitals Can anyone on the list confirm or deny?
