Oxford Trauma Service
For over 80 years, the Oxford Trauma Service has provided expert surgical care to the city of Oxford.
A unique feature of the Oxford Trauma Service is that a majority of our Consultant Surgeons specialise purely in Trauma, with a specific interest and expertise in a particular aspect of trauma.
Today, we not only look after people injured in and around Oxford, but we are the Major Trauma Centre for the 3.2 million residents of the Thames Valley.
This ensures that patients with complex injuries such as open fractures and pelvic / acetabular fractures attending District General Hospital in the region including Milton Keynes, Wexham Park, Stoke Mandeville and Reading, are transferred to our care for specialist management.
We have a particularly highly performing partnership with our Plastic and Reconstructive colleagues to provide world-class joint management of open fractures.
