This focused study day brings together leading clinicians to share current insights and practical advances in the critical care management of burns, plastics and dermatological Emergencies. Sessions will explore evolving injury patterns, including inhalation, electrical, and chemical burns, alongside new approaches to fluid resuscitation and metabolic optimisation. Delegates will gain insight for best practice for early referral and initial management, discuss preparedness for mass casualty scenarios, and examine complex dermatological and surgical emergencies such as SJS/TEN and necrotising fasciitis.
The day concludes with a session on psychological trauma, emphasising resilience and wellbeing across patient and team care.
By integrating evidence-based updates with real-world application, this programme aims to strengthen clinical decision-making, multidisciplinary coordination, and preparedness across critical care and burn services.
Learning Objectives
-
Appraise evolving patterns of burn and inhalation injuries and identify strategies to enhance ICU readiness and response.
-
Apply evidence-based approaches to optimise early resuscitation, fluid balance, and metabolic control in patients with major burns.
-
Strengthen understanding of national referral pathways and multidisciplinary coordination to ensure safe, timely escalation and transfer of complex burn cases.
-
Recognise and differentiate acute dermatological and soft-tissue emergencies, integrating advances in surgical innovation and reconstructive techniques into critical care decision-making.
-
Implement trauma-informed and resilience-building strategies that support psychological recovery and team wellbeing within critical care environments.
