LEEDS MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE (MTC) SERVICE Through the West Yorkshire Major Trauma Network, the MTC serves patients across the region from incident to rehabilitation. Each morning the team has a Multi-disciplinary team meeting to discuss all major trauma patients within the hospital. Throughout the day the MTC receives acute admissions from around the region. Our Major Trauma Nurse specialists co-ordinate the care of our patients as soon as they come through the door into the emergency department. They then follow the patient pathway through the different levels of care that are required supporting both the patient and their relatives up until and beyond discharge. The Network was established in 2013 to bring together Major Trauma Care across West Yorkshire and is a collaboration between ourselves and five Trauma Units in other hospitals in the region. This ensures all patients that require major trauma services have access to the right level of care at the right time, in the right environment. We have invested a further £8m over the years to enhance facilities, including the creation of a dedicated MTC ward and theatre, and enhanced staffing. As well as being the second largest MTC in the country we have consistently remained in the top three for outcomes. Over the last three years, Leeds MTC has been leading the way nationally in the management of major limb trauma requiring combined plastic and orthopaedic surgery which is a huge achievement. The department is supported by Trauma co-ordinators, Major Trauma Case Managers, and clinical nurse specialists and a large rehabilitation team led by rehabilitation Fellows. Leeds General Infirmary has 3 orthogeriatric wards, one major trauma-polytrauma ward, one trauma ward, one paediatric ward including 2 paediatric HDU beds, and an eight bedded HOBs ward shared with plastic surgery. There are 2 trauma theatres running all day lists and one major trauma-polytrauma theatre. All trauma outpatients are seen in a dedicated fracture clinic with supporting radiology facilities and the A&E Department are on the ground floor of the same building. All orthopaedic trauma patients are admitted to the Leeds General Infirmary. Particular specialist services provided are pelvic and acetabular reconstruction, spinal injuries, open fractures, post injury limb reconstruction and complex fracture work. There is a specific interest in polytrauma and many peripheral trauma units refer most of their multiple injured patients straight to Leeds General Infirmary on day one. This post is designed to support this well-established trauma service. The referral base is continuing to develop and grow and forms the basis of the new Trauma Centre at Leeds General Infirmary. Junior Medical Staff Within Major Trauma and General Trauma and Orthopaedics there are 20 SpR Drs from ST3-ST8 providing support on a registrar rota. Fifteen are supported through the Yorkshire deanery and a further five are Trust Grade Registrar posts.
