Trauma Champions allow the ANZTS to recognise members both past and present and non-members, who have dedicated their careers to improving trauma care and outcomes across Australia and New Zealand.
The focus will be on past members of the trauma community.
Members of the Board of Directors along with ANZTS members would be able to nominate trauma colleagues to be recognised under this category.
The nominees would be recognised on an annual basis, and this would be housed on the ANZTS website.
The following are not eligible for nomination:

  • Any current member of ANZTS Board
