    AbstractThis review article highlights the prerequisites and consequences of a possible implementation of trauma systems in Denmark. Denmark is a small densely populated country, with a population of approximately 5 mill. people. Trauma care is de-centralised, and prehospital care is in general minimal, however the transportation time to the nearest hospital is comparably short. The entire population is fully medically insured by the public health insurance. A successful reorganisation of Danish trauma care depends on respect for the present national advantages and internalisation of international experiences. The author recommends a nationally co-ordinated reorganisation in accordance with the guidelines of American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma.
