📢 Our study suggested that paediatric burn injury prevention materials may have limited impact on parents who’s children may be most at-risk. Implications for future campaigns include the use of videos/case studies and co-developing materials with parents who engage in fewer prevention behaviours

What a great American Burn Association conference last week in Orlando! Lots of interesting talks and people to talk to! Thanks to @NIHR for funding me to attend and present my poster on the ethics of early research/interventions for appearance distress after burns
