Injuries that that can be managed in the ED eCOURSE

There are many types of injury which are seen in the Emergency Department. Some will need referral to a fracture clinic for ongoing advice and management, but there are also many others that can be managed effectively at their initial presentation to ED without the need for routine onward referral to the orthopaedic team or fracture clinic.

Avoiding unneccessary referrals means more time in fracture clinics to focus on those patients that need to be seen. It's also good for the environment with fewer people on the road travelling to a clinic !

In addition to the sldieshows and quiz there are also some examples of helpful patient leaflets but you may have your own. If your hospital doesn't have one then why not create your own ?!
