Community Outreach & Media

This year’s World Trauma Day falls on 17 October 2021. The commemoration of World Trauma Day emphasises the importance of injury prevention and saving lives during the most critical moments. For the very first time in Singapore, CRTS and its partner institutions, will be launching a series of virtual trauma and injury talks happening on the 11 – 15 October 2021, 1200 – 1300h. 

 

This year’s theme is “Timely Response Saves Lives”. The expert speakers will be sharing various trauma and injury related topics such as the management of common recreational injuries, and the psychological impact of trauma. Members of public will gain first-hand knowledge and fruitful tips on trauma prevention and management from the experts.

In Singapore, the leading causes of traumatic injuries in children are falls, vehicular accidents, and sport injuries. Trauma can be life-threatening if not treated in time. Every second and action counts. Our School Outreach Programmes provides educators and students with first aid and injury prevention tips that they can use in various situations.
