Improving Trauma Care in Ghana: Community Engagement and Involvement Workshops to Set a Trauma Research Agenda

In May 2025, two separate workshops were conducted to better understand trauma care and healthcare access following injury in Ghana, and to identify potential areas for improvement and future research.

Organised through a collaboration between teams at the University of Ghana and the University of Cambridge, the workshops brought together two key groups in separate sessions: clinicians involved in trauma care and members of the public who had previous experience in receiving trauma care. The aim was to discuss potential areas of concern and identify opportunities for improvement.

The workshops led to the identification of key priority areas for researchers to consider during the development and design of their future collaborative research.
