Global Webinar Series
The 2026 theme is 'Burns: Thriving Through a Community of Care', focussing on the importance of thriving, rather than simply surviving a burn injury, and the key role played by countless others to support this, throughout each stage of recovery.
Did you organise an activity as part of World Burns Week 2024 or 2025?
