Experts have released what they say is a glimpse of the future of trauma care. 

Commissioned by the Jamieson Trauma Institute at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, the project has brought together a team of researchers, animation and film students, and acting students to portray the medical staff through motion capture. 

In the film, a driver’s ute calls 000 after he rolls it on a lonely stretch of road. 

The drama then details how scans at Goondiwindi Hospital are viewed by a trauma team in Brisbane who virtually assist the local doctors to stabilise the patient. Scans are also sent to a biofabrication team in Brisbane to start work on printing bone implants for his shattered leg. ‘Nurse navigators’, meanwhile, are in communication with his family on ‘John’s’ progress.
