Job summary The London Trauma System went fully live across all four trauma networks in January 2011 at four Major Trauma Centres (MTCs), located at The Royal London Hospital (Whitechapel), King's College Hospital (Denmark Hill), St George's Hospital (Tooting) and St Mary's Hospital (Paddington). The networks are formally linked into areas adjacent to London, giving a total resident population served by the London Trauma System of 12 million people. In addition to this number there is a significant transient working commuter population (approximately 1.1 million people per day) and tourists. Data from LAS demonstrates that the St Mary's MTC consistently receives around 35% of all patients in London who trigger the Major Trauma Tool. The department is seeing now over 3000 trauma calls per annum, and around 700-800 patients in the most injured category (Injury Severity Score ISS>15). The unit was fundamental in managing trauma patients affected by the 2017 major incidents across London.
