SURGERY SPECIALITIES Burn Unit Services The Moncton Hospital's Burn Unit, part of the Surgery Program, provides critical care to children and adults who have received a significant burn and require care by nurses who have specialized training in burn care. The Unit, southeastern New Brunswick's only unit dedicated specifically for burns, is located on the fifth floor of the hospital. The types and severity of the burns cared for in this unit are varied depending on the unique needs of the patient. The Moncton Hospital treats various types of burns, including chemical, electrical, thermal and inhalation. The multidisciplinary team looks after the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of the approximately 20 patients admitted to the unit each year. The team is extensive and each specialty has a unique role to play in the recovery of the patient. The team includes plastic surgeons, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists and pastoral care. The Burn Unit receives tremendous support from the Moncton Firefighters Association who plays a key role in helping SERHA's burn unit offer the best health care possible. In addition to supplying financial support for the unit, the Association also provides funding for nurses to attend conferences. The Association also provides equipment for the patients' rooms, such as televisions and furniture for the family. Presently they are working with The Moncton Hospital to install a state-of-the-art burn shower.  Back to top |
