EXPLAINING TRAUMA TO CHILDREN - BILLY AND HIS BLOOD CELLS

 

Public engagement is a crucial aspect of trauma prevention and raising awareness and public understanding of trauma and trauma research. TSCIPP is a programme for medical students aimed at providing clinical and research experience by some of the best trauma staff in the country. Involvement in Public Engagement is a key part of the programme, and gives students a unique insight into the field of trauma beyond the clinical environment. Students are able to utilise and develop key skills in communication with the public, creativity and the production of educational materials. This piece aims to highlight trauma injury and treatment, in addition to increasing public understanding of trauma and research. Through this piece, we hoped to introduce children to trauma and the vital role played by C4TS researchers in improving trauma care.
