As part of our work looking at the crucial role bystanders can have in improving outcomes following a collision, we have created this to show the potential areas they could impact care.
Currently titled the “bystander wheel”….. let us know if you have a more imaginative name!
Awesome to see the IMPACT ambassador network taking shape both in the UK and Internationally.
