Burn injuries can affect anyone, anywhere at anytime - ranging from a minor annoyance managed at home, through to the life-threatening condition needing urgent transfer to a burn service. The real challenge are those in between these extremes - patients that require expert care delivered by people who may not feel that they are experts. This Masterclass will cover the basics of good burn care delivered by experts in the field - Dane Holden - Victorian Adult Burns Service, The Alfred, Craig McBride - Surgical Team: infants, toddlers and children at Children's Health Queensland and Richard Wong She - National Burn Centre, Middlemore Hospital, New Zealand. Topics covered include burn wound assessment, immediate burn care, referral and acute surgery. This will be relevant to trainees in general, paediatric and plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as fellows involved in trauma working outside of a burn service.
