Different surgical sub specialities rely on fixed number of porters each morning to bring patients to operating theatre. In daily morning trauma meetings usual practice is to present the whole list of one theatre and then move on to next theatre list. Once all the theatres trauma list are presented, porters are sent to get patients to theatre. With different sub-specialities starting simultaneously and competing for fixed numbers of porters, this can cause significant delay in getting the patients to anaesthetic room. Retrospective pilot project in level 1 major trauma centre were more that two trauma list a day is a common norm. Pilot project: First (Golden) patient for every trauma list would be presented at the start of the trauma meeting Meeting would pause and consultant chairing the meeting would request the trauma theatre representative to send for these patients Once this is done the meeting would recommence as usualAbstract
