Our annual reports say who we are and what we are doing. There are sections showing the volumes of patients admitted to hospital, demographic profiles, event information, performance indicators, outcomes and maps pinpointing communities at risk. We use this information to highlight the impact of trauma in the region but also to show what we are doing about it.
