Surviving massive Burns

Surviving massive Burns: Jamie Manning and the Royal North Shore Hospital team

In this panel discussion, we hear an incredible patient story from Jamie Manning and his wife, Karen Manning.

In March 2014, Jamie was involved in a horrific car accident which resulted in catastrophic injuries and extreme burns to 40% of his body.

Jamie and Karen reflect on their journey to recovery and their experience with the hospital system.

They are joined on the panel by a number of the healthcare professionals who were involved with Jamie’s recovery. In this discussion, the team reflect on learnings for the future, such as the importance of continuity of care.
