Course: Burns Mass Casualty Incidents

This hands-on course is the only one of its kind in the world, presenting a new approach to burns management for MCIs based on the updated WHO guidelines, the development of which was led by Respond Global Founder and emergency response specialist, Dr. Ian Norton.

Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) resulting in burn injuries present unique challenges. As a health practitioner or emergency responder you may have been taught how to deal with a single burns patient, did you know that care of multiple burns victims requires a different approach? Did you know WHO have recently published consensus guidance on this?

With burn MCIs highly likely in Australia, anyone who manages on-scene responses, manages an emergency department, or is in charge of hospital, industrial or state disaster planning and response needs to do this course.
