Story

The Basics of Burn Care Project is a joint effort between hospitals, researchers, clinicians working in burn care, and MLX. The project aims to improve healthcare for all patients with burn injuries around the world. One of the purposes of the project is to provide inspiring and detailed educational resources for all paramedics, nurses and doctors who are responsible for burn wound victims.

About the book

The second eBook of the Basics of Burn Care series is focussed on scars and contractures and their treatment. As in the first book, a team of international experts with decades of experience came together to summarise and share their knowledge. Examples of patients from Tanzania, Bangladesh and the Netherlands are included.

The eBook follows the same structure as the first.

1. Principles
Essential background for everybody who is in charge of burn wound victims

2. Examples
Highly detailed, illustrated patient stories, from the first presentation to the final result.
