    Area of Science:

    • Medical research
    • Public health
    • Trauma care

    Background:

    • Holiday resorts experience unique injury patterns.
    • General practitioners (GPs) in tourist areas manage diverse patient needs.
    • Accurate data collection is crucial for understanding and managing local health challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the types and causes of casualties treated by GPs in a Scottish holiday resort.
    • To determine the proportion of injuries involving temporary residents and emergency cases.
    • To describe the distribution, outcomes, and management of accidents in this setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A three-year survey of all casualties treated by general practitioners.
    • Data collection on accident types, patient residency status, and treatment provided.

  • Analysis of injury distribution, causes (including skiing), and patient outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 4,194 total accidents, 2,805 (67%) involved temporary residents or emergency treatment.
    • Skiing accidents accounted for over a quarter of all injuries.
    • General practices managed more than half of all casualties entirely within the practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Holiday resort general practices handle a significant volume of accidents, particularly among temporary visitors.
    • Skiing is a major cause of injury in this specific tourist environment.
    • The established recording system effectively supports ongoing accident service provision and future research.
