The aim of the exercise is to orientate participating staff to the proposed NHS England Concept of Operations (ConOps) for the management of Mass Casualties (Burns Annex). The exercise is also a training opportunity for the key Burns and ECMO Network decision makers. Participating from remote locations during the event will be representatives from burn specialist centres; units and facilities in England.
