03 • Introduction

The inclusive Network aims to reduce morbidity and mortality from major trauma. From prevention through to rehabilitation, the Network brings together all involved in the care of the major trauma patient to create a system pathway that aims to meet the need of the patient throughout and realise an expected reduction in mortality of 15–20% over 5–10 years.

The Network covers the geographical area of the counties of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk and is responsible for the care of major trauma patients within this area. All areas were operational by August 2012.
