BBA: The British Burn Association

BBA Education

The British Burn Association is committed to providing education to its members at all levels. The Annual Conference is an opportunity to acquire new knowledge of what is currently happening in burn care around the UK and abroad.

As well as this, the Emergency Management of Severe Burns (EMSB) course has been adapted from the original Australian and New Zealand Burn Association (ANZBA) course to provide training on the pre-hospital care of the major burn patient. These courses are run throughout the year in 6 major centres and more information can be obtained through the BBA Secretariat.

Another major educational initiative is the development of the regional Burns Interest Groups (BIG). These groups provide basic level burn education as well as the opportunity to network with other burn units in your region. These meetings are co-ordinated by 6 regional co-ordinators, and by the national co-ordinator- Jacky Edwards.
