Description

Burn injuries are recognised as a major health problem worldwide, causing morbidity and mortality in individuals of all ages. The Oxford Specialist Handbook of Burns is a concise, easy-to-navigate reference text that outlines the assessment, management, and rehabilitation of burns patients. With contributions from international experts, this handbook covers all aspects of burn-patient care, from first aid to reconstructive techniques and physiotherapy. 

This new, pocket-sized title is an invaluable resource for all those who come into contact with burns patients, from accident and emergency doctors to allied health professionals, as well as specialists and trainees in burns units. Filling an important niche in the market for an accessible quick-access guide for those first on the scene, The Oxford Specialist Handbook of Burns is a comprehensive and detailed new resource.

About the Editor

Professor Whitaker is the Chair of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Wales. He combines a clinical practice (both acute care and elective surgery) with the development of an active research program. He is the director of the Reconstructive Surgery and Regenerative Medicine Research Unit, and Deputy Editor of Europe's largest reconstructive surgery journal, the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery. He is SAC Lead for Academic Plastic Surgery. 

Iain read medicine at Cambridge University, completed a sub-internship at Harvard Medical School, and then completed his training in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery internationally. He has published over 150 articles, and sits on the BAPRAS research council. In collaboration with leading scientists at Swansea University, Iain has developed a doctoral and postdoctoral career path for plastic surgeons in Wales. 

Professor Shokrollahi is a Burns, Plastic, and Laser surgeon at the regional burns centre at the Mersey Regional Burns and Plastic Surgery Unit in Liverpool, UK and Clinical Lead for the Northern Burn Operational Delivery Network, NHS England, UK. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the international journal 'Scars, Burns & Healing' and Associate Editor of the journal 'Annals of Plastic Surgery', and also serves as vice-chairman of The Katie Piper Foundation, a charity that works to improve outcomes for burns survivors.

Kayvan graduated from Bristol University with a BSc in cellular and molecular pathology and a degree in Medicine. He was awarded the Hunterian professorship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2007, and has delivered guest and keynote lectures internationally. His work has been recognised with prizes, grants, and scholarships. He has published over 70 research articles, and served as both an editor and contributor for numerous books. Outside of medicine, Professor Shokrollahi is an accomplished composer and pianist. 

William Dickson is a consultant Plastic Surgeon and Clinical Lead for the South West Burn Operational Delivery Network (Adults), NHS England, UK. His career has spanned more than 40 years and included working on patients injured in the 1985 Bradford City stadium fire and the Corus blast furnace explosion in 2001. He oversaw the move of the designated burns centre to Swansea in 1994. He was clinical director of the Welsh Burn Centre until 2014, and was awarded an MBE for services to medicine in 2008.
