The report of the Trauma Steering Group, A Trauma System for Ireland was published in February 2018. It is the culmination of the work of the Steering Group, chaired by Professor Eilis McGovern, which was established by the Minister for Health in 2015 to develop a trauma policy for Ireland.
The report recommends the establishment of an inclusive trauma system and sets out key recommendations for the organisation of trauma care and the provision of patient-centred trauma services. The report takes a whole system approach addressing all elements of the trauma care pathway including prevention, pre-hospital care, acute hospital care, rehabilitation and supported discharge.
