Welcome to IMPACT
The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation and Translation
Road trauma is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. We believe this can be improved and needs to be improved.
- The best research evidence
- Patient values and preference
- Clinical expertise and knowledge

Why
Road traffic injuries are now the leading killer of people aged 5-29 years
The one element which so often receives poor attention is post-crash response
Historically, the post-collision phase of care has not been subjected to the same scientific scrutiny as later aspects of care (e.g. the care delivered once a patient has arrived in hospital). The absence of scrutiny and evidence has meant that many aspects of post-collision response are based on opinion rather than fact. Many of these opinions have never been challenged or studied to ensure they are correct and optimal for outcomes.

How
By assembling a true-multidisciplinary team of experts, IMPACT benefits from a wide range of perspectives and experience. We develop our work through the established principles of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) to create the largest impact with clinicians, rescuers and policymakers
Priority Setting Partnership?
A Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) brings together people with lived experience, members of the public, health professionals, and other stakeholders to identify the most important questions for future research. By collecting and reviewing questions from a wide range of voices, the PSP helps ensure that research is focused on the things that matter most to those affected.
By strengthening each of these links, we can reduce deaths and improve recovery for people injured on the roads.
