Perspectives of a newly developed UK major trauma and plastics psychology service: A qualitative service evaluation

Findings highlighted a perceived positive impact of integrated, specialist psychological support on the recovery of major trauma patients and the psychological wellbeing of major trauma clinicians. A need for future service expansion to overcome current capacity pressures and permit suggested developments was also emphasised. Replication of the psychology service in additional NHS MTCs to reach patients in other regions offers a potential solution to current inequities in post-major trauma psychological care in the UK.
