Birmingham Accident Hospital, fondly known as The Acci, was established to manage the victims of the Birmingham Blitz, enemy action overseas and those injured in Midland's factories. This book tells the story of its role during the War and how, in the years that followed, it became world-renowned for excellence in the management of the victims of trauma. Staff at The Acci played a major role in almost every clinical advance from the introduction of antibiotics to the establishment of trauma critical care. Although the hospital closed in 1993, relocated first to Selly Oak Hospital and then to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, its staff went on to play a key role in the management of the victims of trauma during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, once again at the cutting edge of clinical practice. The legacy and the legend of the Birmingham Accident Hospital live on.

This book provides evidence-based guidelines for the immediate clinical management of major trauma. It has been written by clinicians with many years of trauma experience and endorsed as authoritative by Trauma Care UK. 

The UK now has highly effective trauma systems. Clinical developments include the introduction of damage control resuscitation, tranexamic acid, blood product resuscitation, novel hybrid resuscitation and an emphasis on the control of major external haemorrhage as part of a new ABCDE approach. Consequently, more individuals with major trauma are surviving than ever before. Optimal pre-hospital care is essential for improved survival rates and reduced morbidity. 

The Trauma Care Manual 3e is the definitive evidence-based manual on best trauma practice. Now in its third edition, this valuable book continues to provide clear practical guidelines for managing victims of major trauma. New coverage includes chapters on abdominal and urological trauma, as well as trauma in the obese patient. Also included is coverage of pre-hospital management; trauma centres, systems & teams; modern trauma resuscitation; trauma physiology & metabolism; and damage control surgery. Written by members of Trauma Care, this book offers a nationally accepted set of standards for good practice.

Fully updated for a second edition, the Oxford Handbook of Pre-hospital Care is an invaluable guide to providing high-quality care in a pre-hospital environment. Evidence-based and reflecting new developments in regulations and practice, this second edition is designed to provide key information for all immediate care practitioners, including doctors, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and community responders. The text has been cross-referenced with the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee (JRCALC) handbook to ensure full clinical relevance.
