Paediatric Trauma

Oxford University Hospital (OUH) is a paediatric major trauma centre and manages paediatric trauma patents presenting locally, or transferred to OUH following presentation to one of the district general hospitals in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We expect that the trauma fellow will be involved throughout the patient journey at OUH, from stabilization of the patient in ED, through admission to paediatric critical care and the rehabilitation pathway as needed.

Their day time work will be focused on the trauma pathway and its delivery and development.
