General Battlefield Trauma Resources

To further support surgeons throughout the world who are working in military conflicts, the BOA has created a series of generic videos on battlefield trauma from recent webinars it has recently hosted with collaboration from BAPRAS.  This project has brought together recognised experts with deployment experience, covering a wide range of topics relevant to the management of battlefield trauma. This content will be relevant to the provision of assistance in areas of conflict, independent of geo-political considerations.
