The staff briefing sessions at PRI and Ninewells are open to all NHS Tayside and NHS Fife staff who are interested in the development of this service. The service will see the creation of a dedicated Major Trauma Inpatient Unit at Ninewells. Full programme details are included below:

The Scottish Trauma Network will consist of four centres across Scotland. The centres at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee (East), Edinburgh Royal (South East), Aberdeen Royal (North) and Queen Elizabeth in Glasgow (West) will create a trauma network where the most seriously injured patients will receive the best specialist treatment and rehabilitation.
The development of the Easter Region’s Major Trauma Centre at Ninewells is being led by Emergency Department consultant Dr Mike Johnston.
