Care4Burn is excited to welcome Lina Lernevall as an ambassador for Care4Burn.

Lina is a nurse and a PhD-student at the Department of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, National Burn Centre, Haukeland University Hospital and the Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Bergen, Norway.

The title of the PhD is “Parent experience of burn injury in their child and perceived needs for support during hospitalization at a burn care centre”. Through her work she uncovers the need for parental support and how to improve the support for parents of burn injured hospitalised children.

Last year, at Care4Burn’s Charity event, Lina presented her study and gave a poignant lecture on post-traumatic stress in parents to children with burn injuries.

Thank you for joining our team Lina and for supporting Care4Burn’s work!

We look very much forward to work together to raise awareness of burn injuries in third world countries.

Together we can make a difference!
