Ferno at BACCN's Trauma Day

We’re all set up at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB) for the British Association of Critical Care Nurses’ Trauma Day.
The QEHB recently announced it had become the focus of a £20m national centre for research into treating trauma. The new National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Centre for Surgical Reconstruction and Microbiology will be set up at the hospital.
QEHB has a record of excellence in treating trauma, as a regional centre for major trauma and the primary receiving hospital for all of Britain’s serious military casualties. Around 20,000 people suffer major trauma each year in England and Wales, and QEHB will become the focus for improving the way those patients are treated.
The initiative involves the Department of Health, the Ministry of Defence, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Birmingham.
At the Trauma Day meeting Ferno will displaying a range of military litters and other emergency evacuation and extraction equipment. If you’re there come along and say hello to the team.
