Practice Update: SWIFTIEE A New TBI Protocol For SW England

This episode outlines the South West Initiative for Traumatic Intracranial Event Evaluation (SWIFTIEE), a new regional protocol for managing adult patients with minor traumatic brain injuries (MTBI) who have abnormalities on CT head imaging. The initiative aims to standardise care, improve hospital flow, and enhance patient safety by addressing ambiguities in current NICE NG232 guidance regarding the definition of 'surgically significant' and 'clinically important' radiological findings.
