The ACI Statewide Burn Injury Service provides education for health professionals in NSW.
The training covers all aspects of burn care:
- initial first aid
- assessment and management
- wound management, dressing selection and application
- short and long term physical, nutritional, speech and psychosocial rehabilitation.
Full day or half day programs can be delivered by team members from NSW severe burn units; however opportunities exist for smaller sessions. We can work with you to tailor education to your team’s needs. Contact the Statewide Burn Injury Service to arrange education sessions.
