The Managed Clinical Networks for Care of Burns in Scotland (COBIS) was launched in 2007 to ensure that patients who suffer serious burn injury in Scotland are treated at an appropriate centre, transported safely to that centre and receive a standard of care for burn patients irrespective of where they live. Glasgow Royal Infirmary and St John’s Hospital, Livingston, are burn centres providing the highest level of care for complex burn injuries. Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Ninewells Hospital in Dundee are burn facilities and care for non-complex burn injuries.
