The burns outpatients department is part of the St Andrew’s Burns Centre at Broomfield Hospital.

It provides a dressing and after care clinic for adult patients with a burn injury.

You may be referred by your GP or local hospital A&E if you have a new burns injury after being discharged from the burns wards.

When you come to burns outpatients for dressings you will always see an experienced burns nurse. you may also see a doctor, advanced practitioner, occupational therapist, psychotherapist or scar therapist if needed. 

Working with other Trusts

Our burns unit is part of the London and southeast Burns Network (LSEBN) and covers a large part of the east of England including London, north of the river Thames. This means that you may need to travel a long way for your burn care. A clinic is held once a week at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Ely to help reduce travelling distances for some patients. 

If you are finding it difficult to get to your appointments due to finance or reduced mobility after your injuries, please discuss this with the nurses in clinic or call the us. You may be eligible for transport or help with some of your travel costs.  

Our burns outreach team

If you are not clinically well enough to travel to the outpatients department, our burns outreach team can come and visit you at home.

They also support other hospitals, care settings and district/community nurses to make sure that all patients get the best possible burn care. 

If you feel you are not well enough to travel, please contact us using the details below and let us know.
