Burn injury education

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.
