Reflections from London's Level-1 Major Trauma Centres during the COVID crisis

Ramon Tahmassebi et al. Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

Emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in dramatic changes in global healthcare provision. Resources were redirected across all healthcare sectors to support the treatment of viral pneumonia with resultant effects on other essential services. We describe the impact of this on the provision of major trauma care in a major capital city.

Keywords: Covid-19; London; Major Trauma Centre.
