🚨 New research from our Bystander Project 🚨

We asked: Which injuries + interventions should be prioritised for patients trapped after motor vehicle collisions?

Our Delphi consensus study is now published!

As part of our work looking at the crucial role bystanders can have in improving outcomes following a collision, we have created this to show the potential areas they could impact care.

Currently titled the “bystander wheel”….. let us know if you have a more imaginative name!
