Burn Patient Management - Clinical Practice Guidelines

The following guidelines were developed by specialist staff working within the ACI Statewide Burn Injury Service (SBIS) from the tertiary Burns Units at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Royal North Shore Hospital and Concord Repatriation General Hospital. They were designed for use by staff working in these Burn Units to guide practice, not to replace clinical judgement.
