Vision Thing is an Auckland-based creative consultancy founded by Dom Antelme and Ian Sweeney. “We love what the Burn Support Group do. Although we haven’t been affected by severe burns ourselves, we have friends and family who are. So we leaped at the opportunity to help the charity in any way we could. We’re blown away by the people we’ve met on this journey. Their courage and their commitment to improving the lives of burn survivors.” |

Middlemore Hospital education days 2020
|
The BURN SUPPORT GROUP are extremely pleased to be approached by Emma Gils, Clinical Specialty Nurse in the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit, working at Middlemore Hospital.
Emma had the task of planning for 2020 Education days and it is a welcome request for the Charity to speak with the PACU nurses about the long term effects of burn survivors and the support provided by the Burn Support Group. "PACU nurses will often only see the worst of our burns patients as they wake up from surgery - sore, disorientated and frustrated. Once these patients no longer require surgery at Middlemore we have no closure regarding how they have recovered. It would be beneficial for our nurses to gain a wider perspective about what it is like to be a burn survivor" EMMA GILS Last month saw Donna Gregory-Marshall speak, next month will see burn survivor, Heather Stewart, share her story with the nurses, her time in hospitalisation and the ongoing journey to now. If you are a burn survivor and would like to participate in this opportunity please contact Michele at the office, below are the available dates for the end of year sessions. ON BEHALF OF THE BURN SUPPORT GROUP WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK EMMA for involving the Charity in these beneficial sessions: - 20 July 2020 - 26 August 2020 - 10 September 2020 - 14 October 2020 - 5 November 2020 - 7 December 2020 |
Heather Stewart will share her story with the nurses, in July
