We’re dedicated to
Reducing deaths and disability from serious injury.
Did you know?
Trauma is the biggest killer of people under 40 in the UK. Every hour, 2 people in the UK will die from a traumatic injury and 8 more will be left with life-changing disabilities.
The difference we’re making
- Saving patients with new treatments for hemorrhaging, organ failure and infection
- Supporting survivors long-term by developing the AfterTrauma website and a new rehabilitation app
- Leading the way for trauma services in the UK with London’s Major Trauma Networks
- Creating the Centre for Trauma Sciences, a centre of excellence in trauma research, with a £3m grant
As a trauma physician turned patient, I know the care I received was the best there is, and I am alive and walking now thanks to them.”
Funding extraordinary healthcare
Because of the start provided by us, the Centre for Trauma Sciences was able to secure extra funding for research into:
- Prevention of major bleeding, an international study funded by €9m from the European Union
- An antimalarial drug that may prevent organ failure, a unique study funded by £760,000 from the Wellcome Trust
- A lipid emulsion to treat brain and spinal cord injury, thanks to £400,000 of industry funding
