BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-/-/EN BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:BFIRST BBA ONLINE BURNS SYMPOSIUM UID:171 DESCRIPTION:8 July (Acute Care)\n8 August (Rehabilitation, Reconstruction and Prevention)\n\nLocation\nThis webinar takes place remotely via Zoom\n\nEvent description\n\nThe BFIRST / BBA Burns Care online symposium aims to provide high quality online instructional burns education relevant to low and middle-income countries (LMICs)/ limited resource settings. The symposium series has been designed by an international steering committee. We hope the symposium will help to bring together the global community of burn care providers in LMIC by being easily accessible and freely available.\n\nThe emphasis of the first webinar series (Acute Care) will be to cover the scope of burns care provision in LMICs. This will be achieved in 3 main sections:\n\nOverview of acute burn care in LMIC, the challenges faced.\n\nThe multidisciplinary team approach to burn care\n\nCOVID-19 and implications for burn care in LMICs\n\nWe hope to gain insight into the challenges that burn injury can present and some approaches and solutions that have proved successful in these settings.\n\nAudience\nThese webinars are aimed at all healthcare professionals from LMICs with an interest and involvement in the provision of burn care. This broad global audience will include established members of the burn multidisciplinary team (most likely based in urban areas), healthcare professionals with a more generalised practice (may be based in a rural locations) and trainees/residents with an interest in burn care.\n\n DTSTART:20200808T135500Z DTEND:20200808T135500Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
