Speakers and panel members from the RCH Trauma Grand Round.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Trauma Service hosted its first ever Victorian Trauma Grand Round; <\/strong>a state-wide initiative to bring out the best of the world leading Victorian trauma system. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The event aimed to equip and enable those in the trauma community to recognise and respond to non-accidental trauma in vulnerable children.<\/p>\n

Over 300 health care professionals from across Victoria attended the event, which was also live-streamed to over 75 remote sites. These included metropolitan and regional hospitals within Victoria, Ambulance Victoria stations, Australia-wide healthcare sites and international sites in India, China and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Director of the RCH Trauma Service Warwick Teague said the event represented how the trauma community is working together to support people in the most trying times.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the experience of the RCH – in young patients, non-accidental injury accounts for more deaths than passengers in motor vehicle accidents of the same age. That is a terrible statistic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur trauma team share a very deep sense of satisfaction that the event was able to address the important issue of non-accidental injury so effectively and faithfully. The opportunity for the RCH to reach out across the state, country and globe with this educational message is truly exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trauma experts from the RCH and the Victorian Forensic Paediatric Medical Service (VFPMS) shared their expertise through discussing their services, bravely talking through case presentations and participating in a panel discussion.<\/p>\n

The Victorian Trauma Grand Round is a collaborative initiative between the three Major Trauma Services: The Royal Children\u2019s Hospital, The Royal Melbourne Hospital and The Alfred Hospital, Ambulance Victoria, Adult Retrieval Victoria and PIPER (Paediatric Infant Peri-natal Emergency Retrieval). <\/em><\/p>\n

The collaboration provides a forum for healthcare professionals involved in acute trauma care in Victoria to explore and debate all aspects of trauma management.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
