The Emergency Management of Severe Burns (EMSB) course is based on the principle that timely emergency assessment, resuscitation and transfer provides the best chance of recovery for patients with a burn injury. It can enable medical and nursing practitioners working in pre-hospital, emergency medicine and trauma care to improve competence / knowledge of the trauma management guidelines and protocols specific to burns.

The aim of this course is to provide sufficient factual information regarding the presentation, diagnosis and initial management of the patient with severe burns. The information is taught over a day in five separate and complimentary sections:
