Abstract
Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted on trauma patients admitted to a Major Trauma Centre for more than 72 hours. A proportion of these patients were seen in a trauma follow-up clinic approximately two months post injury. Semi structured interviews were conducted during clinic appointments. The World Health Organisation International Classification of Function Disability and Health (WHO ICF) was used as a framework to structure questions relating to recovery. Descriptive data analysis was completed.
