This guideline provides an important clinical reference point for understanding psychological trauma sequelae within long-term recovery after road traffic accidents.
NICE Guideline · NG211
Rehabilitation after traumatic injury
This guideline provides an important reference point for rehabilitation planning, coordination at discharge, and community-based recovery following traumatic injury.
