Julie Waddington Nov 24, 2009:
Department of Traumatology? Following on from Simon's comments, and opening the question up to further debate, I'm wondering to what extent the term is used in hospital departments. I've found loads of hits for non-UK hospitals (China, Hong Kong, European ones) but only Birmingham University Hospital in UK which might use the term due to its academic status/nature.

having been attended in A&E

I prefer A&E but Casualty or Emergency are other options (see below)

Traumatology (from Greek "Trauma" meaning injury or wound), is the study of wounds and injuries caused by accidents or violence to a person, and the surgical therapy and repair of the damage. Traumatology is a branch of medicine. It is often considered a subset of surgery and in countries without the specialty of trauma surgery it is most often a sub-specialty to orthopedic surgery. Traumatology may also be known as accident surgery.

Wounds and injuries are assessed as being serious or not serious (a process known as triage) upon admission to a hospital's Casualty department (Emergency Department ED ( but also still called Accident and Emergency A&E in the UK)[1], Emergency Room ER in US). A wound is usually caused by mechanical force, or sometimes by chemical reactions as in the case of burns.

neutral Julie Waddington : Sorry Simon, I was looking for references and didn't realize you'd posted this. I do think that "traumatology" is used in UK now though so I'm leaving my suggestion.

No probs, Julie! I think 1. traumatology exists as a speciality but not as a dep in a hospital 2. the Alicante ref has been literally translated . . . I may, of course, be utterly and completely mistaken. ;-)
