The north east is often having to deal with RTA's often young people not to mention the offshore industry. we need a trauma centre here. And I know what I'm speaking about I used to nurse these kinda folk from the rehab side of things. Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh is more time spent commuting trauma injuries

Healthcare in the North east of Scotland is marginalised and underfunded. The two centre model will result in inequity of care and more resources being channelled into the central belt

This service must be kept in Aberdeen. I am in rehabilitation following a serious RTC in October 2015. If it wasn't for the care and attention I received I wouldn't be here today. My family were injured too but once recovered they visited me daily. I believe this helped immensely with my recovery,if I had been cared for in the central belt I believe the outcome would have been very different. ARI is truly remarkable!

A trauma centre in Aberdeen would give the north, northeast, northwest, Highlands and Islands cover at times when speed of response is paramount. We've seen the poor, inappropriate responses from a centralised Police service
. Please, let's not go down that path with trauma cover.

Geographically 3 trauma centres is not unreasonable for a country the size of Scotland bearing in mind speed is of the essence in many trauma situations two so close together is pointless.

We need this trauma centre in Aberdeen. Too much emphasis from the Scottish Government on keeping all emergency services in the central belt!

This is a must that Aberdeen should be recognised as a major trauma centre serving the who of Scotland and not have both Trauma centres in the central belt

It is illogical and sometimes dangerous to transport major trauma patients great distances rather than have expertise in several locations.

I don't see why Aberdeen should not be a major trauma centre given the location, logistics and cost of transferring all major trauma to the central belt.

With the very large part of Scotland served by Aberdeen it is essential that the best service possible is available

Over the past few months my family have come to appreciate just how important the trauma unit in Aberdeen is. We are so grateful we were fortunate to have the facility when we needed it and would wish the same for any other family in a similar position. Logistically, a trauma centre situated elsewhere would have exponentially added to an already tough experience.

There cannot be proper provision for trauma care in Scotland, covering the whole population, without a major trauma centre in Aberdeen, as well as Edinburgh and Glasgow.

My partner was involved in an accident suffering from major head trauma and has spent the last 3 months in ARI, if he had been moved to the central belt it would have been disasterous for his progression and for family and friends who have been able to help and support him through this time.
It is essential logistically to be able to support patients in the north of the country
An essential lifeline service
This must happen in Aberdeen!!!
