Episode 4: Understanding Burns
In this episode, sponsored by Savlon Scar Prevention Gel, Kate talks to Sue Boasman, an advanced nurse practitioner and Ken Dunn, a retired burns surgeon, both of whom have joined Kate on behalf of the Children’s Burns Trust.
It’s a frightening statistic, but in 2021, 7661 children were admitted to hospital having been burned or scalded in England and Wales alone, and this figure doesn’t even include the minor burns treated by A&E departments every single day. We know you’ll agree, burns is an absolutely key topic that every family needs to know about.
Ken Dunn is a recently retired consultant from Manchester, England, and until 2018, the Director of the Manchester Burns and Plastic Surgery Service. He is a past Chairman of the British Burn Association and the National Burn Care Review Committee and Medical Director of the International Burn Injury Database, and currently the GIRFT and NCIP clinical lead for Burns and Plastic Surgery, and has several roles within the National Wound Care Strategy Programme. Ken is a trustee with Children’s Burns Trust.
Sue Boasman is a senior nurse with more than 25 years experience working in a regional burns centre, caring for children and adults who have had significant burn injuries, and their families.
