Management of Minor Burns

This course aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary for the effective assessment, management, and follow-up of minor burns.

Why do we need an understanding of minor burns?

Burns represent a diverse array of injuries caused by various mechanisms. To ensure effective treatment for patients with burns, healthcare providers must understand the specific factors associated with each mechanism. Proper management of minor burns is crucial to prevent complications that may necessitate surgical intervention and increase the risk of unfavourable outcomes.
