Trauma.org is an independent, non-profit organisation providing global education, information and communication resources for professionals in trauma and critical care.

The new Trauma.org site has been a long time in development but has huge capacity and functionality to take us through the next few years. It is split into 3 main sections. The Library which holds all clinical and educational materials. Resources contains information on conferences, training and other web links, and the Community section houses the Trauma-list and its archives.

Not all material from the old site is available here yet. If you can't find what you're looking for, it's available here.
