Overview
Burns are a frequent and challenging presentation in rural and remote practice. Optimal wound care, appropriate dressing selection, and early infection prevention are critical to minimise complications, reduce the need for transfer, and improve long-term outcomes.
Dr Carl Lisec has been
invited to deliver this webinar due to his extensive clinical experience in
burns management and his strong
track record in providing practical,
context-appropriate education that is highly relevant to the needs of
rural and remote general
practitioners.
