Abstract:
The Noble hospital on the Isle of Man likely experiences a lower volume of maxillofacial emergencies compared to district general hospitals in mainland UK. The Island's smaller population and relative tranquillity contributes to this. Common maxillofacial emergencies include facial trauma, dental infections and oral abscesses. In contrast, district general hospitals in mainland UK, like those in Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals, likely to handle a higher volume and variety of maxillofacial emergencies due to their larger catchment areas and higher population density. We audit and present the emergency work undertaken during the year 2023 between Noble hospital and the district general hospital(s) of the Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals NHS.
