Who We Are
The Nova Scotia Health Trauma Program (Trauma Nova Scotia) is a provincial trauma program operated and managed under Nova Scotia Health
​
Trauma Nova Scotia was launched in 1997 by Emergency Health Services (EHS) under the strategic direction of the NS Department of Health and Wellness as the Nova Scotia Trauma Program with a mandate to facilitate the provision of optimal trauma care through leadership in injury prevention and control, education, research, and the continuous development and improvement of the provincial trauma system. In 2019, the trauma program joined Nova Scotia Health and continued providing essential functions including leadership, education, research, injury prevention, emergency preparedness, and management of the provincial trauma registry.
Trauma NS is a nationally recognized leader in integrated trauma care, incorporating patient-centred clinical excellence, innovative education, practice-changing research, and reflective health care policy.
