The list below denotes patients who ARE NOT suitable for tertiary referral.

1)        Polytrauma / Major Trauma triggering secondary transfer process

2)        Haemodynamic instability due to pelvic / acetabular injuries

3)        Neurological instability due to pelvic / acetabular injuries

4)        Irreducible or unreduced hip dislocations

5)        Open pelvic fractures (urological, gynaecological, perineal, colorectal, abdominal, groin or buttock soft tissue trauma resulting from pelvic injury)

These groups require urgent transfer to YOUR designated Major Trauma Centre (please be aware that this may not be St. George’s Hospital).
