The Emergency Management of Severe Burns course teaches participants how to recognise, assess, stabilise and transfer the severely burnt patient.
The Emergency Management of Severe Burns course teaches participants how to recognise, assess, stabilise and transfer the severely burnt patient.
The EMSB course is aimed at all health professionals who may find themselves having to care for an acute severely burnt patient. It will supplement existing clinical knowledge in the management of trauma patients with specific aspects and additional challenges associated with a burn injury.
A manual, outlining all aspects of the emergency management of burns is distributed approximately three weeks before the course. It is extremely important that the manual is read and studied prior to attending the day.
On the day there are a brief series of lectures highlighting important aspects in the assessment and management of the acute severely burnt patient. This is reinforced by small group interactive learning with demonstrations and discussion with experts.
Assessment is via a written examination (MCQ) and a short clinical scenario utilising a simulated patient.
On successful completion of both components of the EMSB course, the candidate will receive an official certificate.
Note:
The actual finishing time for the course is contingent on the performance of candidates in the clinical scenario. Candidates are advised that the course may finish as late as 18:00 (although typically it finishes at 17:30).
The programme requires a minimum number of participants to run and may be cancelled if the minimum number is not reached.
COVID regulations can also affect ANZBA’s ability to hold a course. In these cases, a full refund may be provided, OR the opportunity to transfer to another course with no additional cost.
