Spectral AI will launch a series of free educational webinars for healthcare professionals on burn injury wound assessment and care in August.
The first event will take the form of a fireside chat between Spectral AI's Clinical Manager, Lisa Wood, and Burns and Plastic Surgery Specialist Nurse Krissie Stiles.
They will discuss a range of topics including who is at risk of burns, how to assess burn injury wound size and depth and when patients should be seen by specialists.
The interactive one-hour session will also include a live Q&A and will take place from 12.30pm to 1.30pm on Thursday, August 8.
