Introduction[edit | edit source]

Burn injuries are complex and involved injuries which require immediate and specialised interventions. Burn injuries commonly require a prolonged rehabilitation process to return to functional independence, often with adaptation or compensatory training in the long-term. These patients will require both physical and psychological support throughout their rehabilitation process, this is especially true when injury occurs as a result of disaster or conflict.

Acutely, rehabilitation will be supportive of the medical needs of the patient
