Governance
The NBCN is reliant on clinicians, managers, commissioners and patients to function effectively and achieve the best clinical outcomes for patients. A Governance Framework of multi-professional groups has been established to oversee and deliver the work of the ODN.
The Governance Framework consists of:
- Network Management Team
- NBCN Board
- Clinical Advisory Group
- Specialist sub-groups for Nursing, Therapists and Psychologists
- Task and Finish Groups
As the network is established, we will work to ensure patient involvement.
The NBCN collaborates with the other three Burn Care ODNs. All Burn Care ODNs are overseen by NHS England’s Trauma National Programme of Care and the Major Trauma Clinical Reference Group which brings together major trauma and burns. Both ensure Burn Care ODNs are delivering against core and developmental standards as defined in the National Service Specification for Specialised Burn Care (all ages).
