For Health Professionals

Are you looking for support for a burn survivor?
How can the Burn Support Group Charitable Trust help your patient?

The aims of the Burn Support Group Charitable Trust, which is a non-profit organisation, are:

  1. To provide burn survivors (and their families) with support and assistance, during and after hospitalisation, and to help them to return to normal and satisfactory lives within the community.
  2. To lower the incidence of burn injuries by prevention, awareness and burn prevention education;
  3. To improve patient care by funding equipment where publicly funded resources are not available.
  4. To foster sharing of information between survivors, families, health professionals and other interested parties;
  5. To provide opportunities for mutual support from burn survivors, who through their experiences have found inner strengths and 'risen like the Phoenix, from the ashes'.

The quote above, 'Risen like the Phoenix, from the ashes', is from our founder's husband and one of our Patrons, Alan Breslau, who founded the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors in the United States.
What can you expect after you have referred your patient to the Burn Support Group Charitable Trust?

  1. We  will send you  a letter to confirm we have received your referral.
  2. We will send a letter to the Burn Survivor advising of your referral and inviting them to contact us.
  3. We will send you a letter to advise you of the outcome of your referral.
