The work of King’s returns to TV screens

We're proud to feature in the new series of the Channel 4 documentary series 'Emergency' that aired this week.

In April 2010, London became the first area in the UK to implement a regional major trauma system, ensuring the highest-quality care for its population of 10 million people. Since then, the Major Trauma Network has established a world-leading reputation for treating over 12,000 people each year, while improving survival rates by 50% over 5 years.

Emergency follows the stories of seriously injured patients who are treated by London’s Major Trauma Network, and provides a fascinating insight into the outstanding care provided by trauma teams such as ours.

Mr Ibraheim El-Daly, Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon, who features in Emergency, said:

“The series demonstrates perfectly what our NHS is all about; access to round-the-clock, expert, life-saving care for anyone who needs it – not only trauma patients but anyone who requires medical care, which is not the case in all parts of the world.  

“London’s Major Trauma Network is unique in that it brings key clinical specialities together to give the most seriously unwell patients the very best chance of survival and a meaningful recovery. It’s something I am very proud to be a part of.”   

We also spoke to Dr Malcolm Tunnicliff, Clinical Director for Major Trauma and Consultant in Emergency Medicine at King’s, who added:

“The major trauma service at King’s treats some of the most unwell patients in south-east England.

“From injuries sustained in road traffic accidents and falls to stab wounds and serious assaults, our team of specialists are here 24/7 to care for the critically injured patients who need us most."
