About this listen
In this episode of the Project EDWARD podcast, James Luckhurst speaks with Dr. Rob Torok, an emergency medicine consultant and air ambulance doctor with over 20 years of frontline experience. While much of his career has focused on post-crash response, Torok now pushes for a stronger focus on prevention.
The constant stream of trauma victims has led him to question why road death and injury figures in the UK—around 1,700 deaths and 23,000 serious injuries annually—have barely changed in over a decade.
Dr Torok argues we need bold leadership, better use of technology, and a cultural shift in how we approach road safety. He calls for the full implementation of the promised Road Safety Investigation Branch. Above all, he believes it’s time to stop treating driving as routine and start recognising it as the high-risk activity it truly is.
