Members of Manx Care’s Emergency Department clinical leadership team recently represented the organisation at the inaugural North of England Trauma Conference.
As part of the Cheshire and Merseyside Major Trauma Network, employees were invited to contribute to the event’s programme and highlight the island’s unique approach to trauma care.
Presenting alongside partners from the Great North Air Ambulance Service, the team delivered a well‑received session titled “Trauma on an Island”.

Their presentation explored the distinct challenges of providing trauma care in an island setting and showcased the innovative solutions that support safe, effective patient outcomes across both pre‑hospital and acute services.
Senior Matron for Emergency Care, Jo Standish, said: “We were honoured to share the realities of delivering trauma care on the Isle of Man.
“Being part of this conference allowed us to highlight the strengths of our integrated approach, learn from colleagues across the region, and strengthen the partnerships that ultimately benefit our patients.”
Commitment of Team
Interim Executive Director of Operations, Shaun Stacey, added: “I was proud to attend the North of England Trauma Conference and see the calibre and commitment of our Emergency Department clinical leaders.
“Their presentation was an outstanding reflection of how our team delivers high‑quality trauma care in an island setting, with innovation, collaboration, and an unwavering focus on patient outcomes. It was inspiring to see Manx Care represented so confidently on a national stage.”
The event also featured a keynote address from Jason Fox, former Special Forces Sergeant and Royal Marines Commando, whose reflections on leadership, resilience, and the human impact of trauma delivered an inspiring message for all in attendance.
