Patient Referral Pathway

As you will be aware, a new National Burns Hub for Scotland has recently been commissioned and is now up and running in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.  The Hub will be taking additional patients with severe burns from other Health Boards on a phased approach.  Further information and the referral form are available below.

Hospitals referring patients from Accident & Emergency or local care to a tertiary burn care service should use the table below to determine where patients should be referred.

Hospitals are listed by health board in alphabetical order.
