Proforma for maxillofacial trauma

Over a three-year period we devised, developed, and implemented a simple proforma, validated by a previous audit, to improve the accuracy of data collected on maxillofacial trauma. It covers both sides of an A4 sheet and functions as an aide-memoire for junior staff and prompts the comprehensive recording of all necessary medicolegal details should further documentation be required by the police, judiciary, or compensatory body.
