Trauma Line Is Up And Running

As promised, the 1-800 trauma care line as part of the new system unveiled by the Liberal Government is up and running.

An official with the Horizon Health Network tells CHSJ News, it was on-line at the end of last month and has had 24 calls since.

It is set-up in emergency departments around the Province so doctors and or nurses can get in touch with the trauma control physician if a question about a patient comes up on their condition or whether they should be transferred.

Dr. Martin is the trauma control physician but splits his time between Quebec and this Province.
