A Major Trauma Centre (MTC) is a specialist unit within the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, set up to provide specialised trauma care and rehabilitation. They are usually found within larger hospitals in major cities which have the necessary infrastructure and staff to deal with major trauma cases. MTCs provide consultant-led expertise in the fields of anaesthetics, resuscitation, orthopaedics, neurosurgery and emergency medicine. All MTCs have an on-site CT scanner and emergency operating theatres, on standby to perform immediate, life-saving surgery.[1] Major trauma is described as multiple and serious injuries that can lead to a strong possibility of death and/or disability.[1] The first major trauma centre opened in England in 2012, with Scotland following in 2018, also the year in which plans were announced for the first major trauma centre in Wales.[2] Major Trauma Centres in EnglandThere are a total of 27 Major Trauma Centres within NHS England, divided into three categories: adult and child; adult only; and child only.[3] The first MTC opened at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge on 2 April 2012.[4]
