Abstract

Objective: To quantify and describe the different medical specialty staffing models utilised by inpatient trauma services in Major Trauma Centres in Australia and New Zealand.

Methods: A standardised telephone survey of all Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) in Australia and New Zealand was conducted between May and August 2024.

Results: 16/27 (67%) of MTC's in Australia utilise multi-specialty staffing models for their inpatient trauma service. Two of the seven (29%) MTC's in New Zealand utilise a multi-specialty staffing model.

Conclusions: This study presents the results of a survey of all adult and paediatric major trauma centres in Australia and New Zealand. It quantifies and describes medical specialist staffing models of inpatient major trauma services. Two-thirds of MTC's in Australia and almost one-third of MTC's in New Zealand utilise multi-specialty medical specialist staffing models for their inpatient trauma services. The range of non-surgical specialties employed in these roles includes Emergency Physicians (FACEM), Anaesthetists (FANZCA) and Intensivists (FCICM). Of those services that utilise a multi-specialty model, there is wide variation in the number and mix of specialties involved, as well as in the structure and function of the admitting services.

澳大利亚和新西兰住院重大创伤服务的医疗人员配置模式。

目的：量化和描述澳大利亚和新西兰主要创伤中心住院创伤服务使用的不同医学专业人员配置模式。方法：于2024年5月至8月对澳大利亚和新西兰所有主要创伤中心（mtc）进行标准化电话调查。结果：澳大利亚16/27（67%）的MTC在其住院创伤服务中采用多专业人员配置模式。新西兰七家MTC中有两家（29%）采用多专业人员配置模式。结论：这项研究提出了在澳大利亚和新西兰的所有成人和儿科主要创伤中心的调查结果。它量化和描述了住院重大创伤服务的医疗专家人员配置模型。澳大利亚三分之二的MTC和新西兰近三分之一的MTC在其住院创伤服务中使用多专业医疗专家人员配置模式。从事这些工作的非手术专科包括急诊医师（FACEM）、麻醉师（FANZCA）和重症医师（FCICM）。在那些采用多专科模式的服务中，涉及的专科数量和组合，以及入院服务的结构和功能都有很大差异。
