Agenda • Overview of the EoE Major Trauma Network • Rapid Access Acute Rehabilitation Ward (RAAR) • Achievements and Challenges • Aspirations
Continuum of care for major trauma traditional pathway Each component of care working in isolation and without coordination
Major Trauma Traditional Pathway • Emergency / acute management • Neuro ICU / General ICU • Neurosurgical / General Surgical / Orthopaedics ward • DGH Bed In any ward (lack of continuity, lack of expertise) • Specialist Rehabilitation (services patchy)
Major Trauma Traditional PathwayProblems • Delay in transfer from neurosurgical bed to DGH (cost implication and capacity issues) • Prolonged inpatient stay • Lack of expertise leading to delay in start of rehabilitation, comorbidities and complications • Lack of appropriate information and support • Extremely stressful for families
Shift in Continuum of care for major trauma Rehabilitation team involvement within 48 hours

Achievements of EoE Trauma Network • Strong rehabilitation focus • TARN office identification of all trauma patients within the trust • All trauma patients with ISS of more than 8 seen by rehabilitation medicine consultant within 48 hours and a rehabilitation prescription started • Every trauma patient should leave the MTC with a rehabilitation prescription
Rapid Access Acute Rehabilitation Unit (J2 Ward in Addenbrooke’s) • Timely and expert assessment of the rehabilitation needs of trauma patients • Acute rehabilitation interventions to maximise recovery and minimise complications • Provision of coordinated and specialised rehabilitation advice and information to all involved in managing complex Major Trauma • Timely and appropriate transfer/discharge of patients to ensure on-going rehabilitation needs are met

One Year of Trauma Network • October 2012 to October 2013 • Total trauma patients via MTC = 729 • Total trauma patients admitted to RAAR = 253 (34%)
Repatriation wait in weeks for Level 1 Rehab Unit Oct 12 to Oct 13
RAAR Length of Stay • Minimum 1 day • Maximum 99 days • Mean LOS 17.84 days • 85% discharged within 30 days.
Challenges faced in the first year • Tracheostomy patients • Patients with challenging behaviour • Patients with prolonged post-traumatic amnesia • Lack of Level 1 rehabilitation beds in EoE • Lack of spinal injuries unit in EoE • Team development
Aspirations • Develop tracheostomy and challenging behaviour pathways • Roll out RP to trauma units and community settings • Patient and families information leaflet at the point of admission to RAAR • Support business case for spinal injuries unit in the EoE • To achieve level 1 status for 8 neuro-rehab beds by submitting full UKROC data
Aspirations • Outcome data at one year follow up • Publish audit and define research question
