Today we'll learn what to do in the first minutes, because those minutes make a big difference." Slide 3: Introduction: What is a Burn? (Presenter A) On the slide: A burn is damage to the skin (and sometimes deeper tissue) caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation or friction. Common causes: Scalds: hot water, steam, hot oil Flames and hot objects: stoves, irons, heaters Chemicals: cleaning products, lab acids Electricity Sun (sunburn) Say: Explain that most home burns come from hot liquids and hot surfaces, and that children are most at risk. Slide 4: Degrees of Burns (Presenter A) On the slide: Degree Layer affected Looks like Pain 1st (superficial) Epidermis (top layer) Red, dry, no blisters (e.g. sunburn) Painful 2nd (partial-thickness) Epidermis and part of the dermis Red, blistered, swollen, moist Very painful 3rd (full-thickness) All skin layers and deeper White, brown or charred, leathery May be painless (nerves damaged) (Add a diagram of the skin layers.) Say: Explain that a third-degree burn may hurt less because the nerve endings are destroyed, which does not mean it is less serious. Slide 5: First Aid Principles for Burns (Presenter B) On the slide: Remember: STOP – COOL – COVER – CALL STOP the burning: remove the person from the source (switch off electricity first). COOL the burn: cool running water for at least 20 minutes. REMOVE rings, watches and tight items near the burn, before swelling starts. COVER loosely with a clean, non-fluffy dressing or cling film. CALL for help when needed. Say: Walk through each step. Mention that if clothing is on fire, the person should "stop, drop and roll" and flames can be smothered with a blanket. Slide 6: Never Do This! (Presenter B) On the slide: ✘ No ice or ice-cold water (can cause more tissue damage) ✘ No butter, oil, toothpaste or home remedies ✘ Don't pop blisters ✘ Don't remove clothing stuck to the burn ✘ Don't use fluffy cotton or adhesive tape directly on the burn Say: Explain why: these can trap heat, cause infection or damage the skin further.

This guide covers the recognition and management of burns, detailing their causes and severity levels, including first-, second-, and third-degree burns. It outlines immediate first aid procedures using the STOP–COOL–COVER–CALL method, emphasising the importance of cooling the burn and avoiding harmful remedies. Additionally, it addresses the escalation of care for severe burns, infection prevention, and the use of clean dressings. The session concludes with a recap and a myth or fact...
