Trauma TRAPS faculty are all experts in their field and have come together as a team to provide educational courses that aim to impart competence and confidence amongst participants when responding to trauma emergencies. With a long history working in hospital emergency, the team at Trauma Traps recognised that repetition of experience was essential to ensure competence when responding to these types of emergencies.
