03.m • Trauma network governance structure


Incident reporting to the Trauma Network Office (TNO)

All Trusts within the East of England Trauma Network will continue to operate within their own clinical governance framework and all adverse incidents should be reported in line with their internal governance system.

Any adverse incidents occurring during any part of the trauma patient’s pathway should be reported in line with the Trust’s internal process and reviewed at the monthly Trauma Committees. A copy of all reviews should be sent to the TNO clinical governance manager. Along with all operational partners, Trusts and third sector health care providers are required to provide a summary of all of these adverse incidents/risks on a monthly basis to the Trauma Network Office. These can be followed up further by the TNO if required.

Reports should be sent to:
