Burns Service
The Burns service provides for the population of Greater London and the South East.
We have 17 beds which include 2 adult ICU and 2 HDU beds which are used for adults or children and our own dedicated operating theatre and a comprehensive outpatient and outreach service which is also run from the unit.
There are dedicated support services within the unit and hospital, which include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, a play specialist, dietetics, psychology and pain management.
We will provide a supernumery induction period, support for ongoing development and education. We also have our own Clinical Facilitator.
