There may be scope for independent practice, depending on the experience of the fellow.
The fellow may choose to fulfil the role of CTC on call for the major trauma service, either as part of the rota or as an additional duty. This is chiefly a coordinating role, involving the primary care & direction of ongoing care of multiply injured patients, and includes a daily ward round.
