The Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors are excited to share that the Priorities in Global Burns Research is now officially published!
This international effort, led by the James Lind Alliance and the University of Bristol and funded by the National Institute for Health Research, gathered input from over 1600 burn survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals across 88 countries to identify the top 10 global research priorities in burn care.
The goal is for these priorities to guide future research to improve treatment, outcomes, and quality of life for burn survivors worldwide.
Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors was honored to serve as a member of the study’s Steering Group. Their CEO, Amy Acton, played an active role in shaping the direction of the research and assisted in recruiting participants for the surveys.
Several priorities in the top 10 point to the need to better understand and address the long-term physical, social, and emotional quality of life issues the burn survivor community has long been advocating for! The Society is grateful for the community engaging in this global effort.
- Early Burns Management
- Psychological Impact
- Scar Treatment
- Pain & Anxiety
- Stigma
- Burns Education
- Reducing Complications
- Resource Limited Settings
- Cost Effective Treatment
- Long-term Treatment
