UK-wide major trauma center tertiary trauma survey pro forma review and aggregation and consolidation into a redesigned document.

Objectives: The trauma tertiary survey (TTS) is an essential part of the continued care for major trauma patients which is performed to ensure that all injuries have been identified and none have been overlooked during the patient's stay. Although the Advanced Trauma Life Support Course states a need for a tertiary survey, there is currently no standard for what this survey comprises.

Methods: Using local consultant expert opinion and a literature search we identified a set of 32 TTS potential features that may be included within a TTS pro forma.
