Despite the shift towards consultant-led care, many trauma patients are still seen by junior doctors. A national study is needed to investigate the current state of undergraduate trauma teaching and identify areas for improvement. The survey results show a lack of confidence among graduates in diagnosing and managing trauma patients, and a majority feel that a short course in trauma would be helpful. The students support the implementation of formal undergraduate teaching and a blended learning approach.
Despite the shift towards consultant-led care, many patients with trauma are still seen by junior doctors. Previous research has demonstrated that junior doctors feel unprepared to work in acute care but there is a paucity of recent research in trauma specifically. Thus, a national study is required to investigate the current state of undergraduate trauma teaching and identify specific areas for improvement. Between August and September 2020, a 35-item structured questionnaire was distributed among doctors who graduated from UK medical schools within the last 4 years. The questionnaire retrospectively assessed their experience of trauma teaching at medical school and their confidence to diagnose and manage patients with trauma. 398 responses were recorded from graduates of 39 UK medical schools. With 79.6% reporting only 0-5 hours of bedside trauma teaching and 51.8% reporting less than 20 hours in Accident and Emergency, graduates reported that trauma teaching was deficient compared with other specialties (78.1%). The majority of graduates were not confident in the initial assessment (72.9%) of a patient with trauma and almost all felt that a short course in trauma would be useful (93.7%). 77.4% of students felt that online learning would be beneficial and 92.9% felt that simulation would be useful. There is lack of standardised undergraduate trauma teaching nationally; a formal undergraduate teaching to ensure that new graduates are competent in the management of trauma would be supported by students. It is likely that a blended learning approach, incorporating e-learning with traditional teaching and clinical experience would be well received.
