Day One Trauma Support

The West Yorkshire Trauma Network treats a huge number of complex trauma cases – from work accidents to road traffic incidents. Four years ago, a leading trauma orthopaedic consultant, based at the Major Trauma Centre in Leeds, established in partnership with patients a support service called Day One Trauma Support to help victims of major trauma on the road to recovery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
Day One Trauma Support is a support and signposting service providing emotional and practical assistance for major trauma patients and their families including:

• Discharge and home support
• Peer support programme
• Emergency funding
• Emergency accommodation
• Welfare and financial assistance
• Legal advice and guidance
• Counselling for family members

 
Whether you’re being treated at the Major Trauma Centre in Leeds or have been moved to one of the five regional trauma units to continue your recovery, Day One is there for you and your family.  For further information and to access any of the Day One Trauma Support services, please visit www.dayonetrauma.org
