Abstract

The eternal debate between quality and cost-effectiveness within the healthcare arena is challenging for healthcare professionals and organisations. This is a national and international priority in the field of burn care for implementing the projects of burns networks, outreach teams, regional commissioning groups and rehabilitation. This article focussed on several areas of cost-effective quality burn care from initial management to rehabilitation and explore whether that can assist the specialists in the provision of quality care and value for money.
