Irish Association for Emergency Medicine submission regarding MTC Consultation feedback

Irish Association for Emergency Medicine

February 2019

Overview

It is the view of IAEM that Emergency Medicine is a fundamental pillar of a trauma system; indeed IAEM produced the position paper which helped catalyse the movement towards establishing an inclusive trauma system https://iaem.ie/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/IAEM_Position_Paper_-_An_Integrated_Trauma_System_for_Ireland_171214.pdf and has been very active in establishing major trauma audit in Ireland. We have first hand experience of the challenges associated with delivering adult major trauma reception and resuscitation across 26 hospital sites in Ireland and as such are key stakeholders in the reconfiguration required to improve and make our trauma system safer.
