Funded Activity Summary

Over 4000 children present to our burns services every year. Contemporary burn care aims to speed up a patients time to healing which directly avoids the child's risk of developing a scar. We know that applying negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to a child's burn within 72 hours post injury will improve a child's time to healing, decreasing the risk of scarring & cost of care. Co-developing a NPWT Pathway and implementation strategies will improve outcomes for childhood burns nationally.
