A - PREHOSPITAL AND EMERGENCY

We recommend that first responsders be aware of who to contact at the trauma center. The trauma team leader should be identified prior to the handover, and the trauma team should be ready to receive the information. (Adapted from NICE 2016, p.19; Level C)

The prehospital documentation, including the recorded pre-alert information, should be available to the trauma team and immediately placed in the patient's hospital notes. (Adapted from NICE 2016, p.19; Level C)
