Specific challenges with paeds MIs
- Children are portable, may be moved around at scene or self-present via police/taxi/parents
- Identification, assessment, triage tool specificities
- Parents - if injured, can they be co-located?
- Is there a recovery plan - staff and service

Major Incidents involving children:
- have an understanding of language used and communication pathways
- know our role/Action Card within our dept's action plan
- do as much 'normal' as possible but in an enhanced capacity
- documentation is everything

1:7 children in the UK are neurodivergent. Higher proportional representation with the paediatric trauma cohort.
Teams managing ND trauma patients need to focus on these differences to maximise recovery.

Interesting reflection from Dennis our PMTC ANP - saying “you’re going home
today” can strike fear if the “what happens next” questions haven’t been addressed…
Especially important across the regional boundaries within the @ScotTraumaNwk

Powerful story from one of our young trauma patients.
What matters to us: doing stuff and fixing things.
What matters to patients: fear, anxiety, frustration, missing family, friends, pets, being far from home, missing out on normal activities…
