Children's Burns Trust
 United Kingdom  |  Health/Medical

We are a national charity dedicated to providing rehabilitation support for burned and scald injured children and their families as well as prevention and awareness campaigns for which there is little or no national funding.

More information

 

A burn injury is for life. Being burned or scalded as a child means years of painful treatment and in the worst cases hundreds of operations to release the scar tissue as they grow. The National Burn Care Standards say that the burns service should have a network of support groups where patients and their families can mix with others with similar concerns and that a children’s support group should be available where they can interact with other children with burn injuries and receive peer support. The NHS provides good emergency care for burn and scald accidents but the post trauma or follow up care including equipment is significantly under-funded. Our charity is the only national charity dedicated to help NHS staff to restore the child to their pre-injury condition and potential in terms of aesthetic, function and intellect and the provision of equipment is as an important element in their on-going recovery.
