About Us

Our Story

SBSLF was set up to provide training in life support for severe burns patients for international emergency medical and rescue practitioners.

Burn injury remains the most traumatic of survivable injuries. When of sufficient severity, it can have a profound effect on every body system, even the most minor burn injury can change the individual’s appearance with inevitable social and psychological consequences. It’s their future in your hands.
