Trauma

The trauma team is a specialised team within Gold Coast University Hospital that provide care to trauma patients from pre-admission to post discharge. In ICU we catch a brief glimpse of the initial phases of care for trauma patients before they are stepped down to the ward. The trauma team follow these patients through all aspects of their admission from their arrival in ED, theatre, ICU, ward and then transfer home. Join us as we unpack the role of the trauma team, led by Bhavik Patel consultant surgeon for acute care and trauma surgery.
