Designing a new orthopaedic trauma meeting proforma to improve documentation in a large UK teaching hospital
This study proposes a standardised trauma meeting proforma to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of trauma meeting documentation. Our findings highlight the need for professional bodies to establish guidelines for trauma meeting handovers. We encourage further research into effective trauma meetings and suggest our proforma as a template for other orthopaedic departments to adapt to their needs.
