The team are currently carrying out a smaller study, known as feasibility work, to check that what they do in the large study would be acceptable to patients (ie. children and parents/carers) and staff, that it is practically achievable and that they have support and involvement from burn care teams across the country. This will include agreeing with patients and staff, when and how to recruit participants, how to keep them engaged with a full study over time, and what is the best way to assess scarring and emotional outcomes. This work will enable us to know if a full study is feasible and practical.
