These advances would not be possible without opportunities for knowledge sharing and joint initiatives in trauma care. This year, we hosted the London Performance Psychology in Medicine Symposium, a chance to explore how we can improve the delivery of complex care in high pressure situations. In December, we held the first Pan London Trauma Nurses Conference, led by our charity’s Patient Liaison Nurse, Frank Chege. This provided those who work with trauma patients the opportunity to share learnings on this complex group. We also continued to host Clinical Governance Days, giving the opportunity to not only share our learnings, but hear from others and develop our practice. The Institute of Pre-Hospital Care has enjoyed another year at the forefront of the field and has been a hub for education and innovation. We have seen the third year of our intercalated BSc in Pre-Hospital Medicine deliver another cohort of outstanding students in collaboration with Queen Mary University of London. I am excited to see the future of trauma medicine develop with the support of our service. There is no way that we would be able to do any of the above without you, our supporters. Our status as a charity allows us to push the boundaries of pre-hospital care, and it is thanks to you that we can do so. Thanks to you, 1,749 patients received the vital care they needed in the last year. I am so proud of the service we have built together. Thank you.
