Clinical Guideline: Statewide Burn Injury Service – NSW Burns transfer guidelines 4th edition
This guideline provides the information needed for effective assessment and management and efficient transfer of NSW patients with a burn injury to designated specialty burn units.

Clinical Guideline: Statewide Burn Injury Service – Burn Patient Management 4th edition
This guideline was developed by specialist staff working within the ACI Statewide Burn Injury Service. This guideline is designed for use by staff working in these burn units, and clinicians working in other areas and facilities, to guide practice, not to replace clinical judgement.

NSW Trauma App: NSW Institute of Trauma and Injury Management
The NSW Trauma App will ensure clinicians are supported in the care of the trauma patient and are able to manage to meet the needs of the specific traumatically injured patient. Clinicians in metropolitan, rural and remote areas require standardised, easy access to clinical support tools and up-to-date, evidence-based information to deliver optimal care. This includes the provision of trauma resources for pre-hospital and intra-hospital clinicians. All clinicians require portable and versatile amenity in trauma care that can be utilised on a smart phone or tablet operable in environments such as poor cellular or WiFi access locations.
