If there is no prior notification of the patient, then rapid activation of the trauma team request must take place and any additional resources notified. If it is anticipated that transfer to a MTS will be required, early retrieval activation is essential (phone ARV on 1300 368 661).
If you are undecided, call the ARV coordinator, who can provide expert guidance and advice over the phone or via tele- or videoconference, and link to a MTS as required.
