Free Online Learning Module for CPD on Kids Burns
As I keep saying, the emergency treatment of kids is different, they are not smaller adults. Kids skin burns deeper, quicker and at lower temperatures than adult skin.
Not only that but burns from scalds can cause lifelong problems for children. Skin damage causes scarring that can lead to serious body image and self-esteem issues. Families can also suffer guilt and blame about the accident.
An ounce of prevention is better than cure so understanding risk situations is he important. Soups, noodles, tea and coffee are common causes of scalds for children under the age of five. These can take less than a second to cause a serious burn.
This is a great resource for free online burns training and posters about burns to kids for schools.
Every year over 600 Kids under 5 go to hospital with burn injuries. Its interesting to see how and where these injuries occur.

Craig Nolan is a dedicated paramedic educator and manager with a reputation built on extensive clinical experience and professional integrity. As the Educational Manager of International Paramedic College, Craig leads training development, drawing on his frontline experience and educational expertise.
A former Intensive Care Paramedic and clinical trainer with the Ambulance Service of NSW—the third-largest ambulance service in the world—Craig has served in some of the field’s most high-pressure environments, responding to critical cases that required advanced life support skills, procedures, and split-second decision-making. His extensive experience in Sydney’s busy inner city equipped him to provide life-saving critical care under extreme conditions. Most of Craig's work was as a second response when general ambulances could not manage the clinical situation. Only about 200 Intensive Care Paramedics out of a workforce of 4,000 were specially trained to handle such cases, making Craig’s role both rare and crucial.
Craig’s commitment to the paramedic profession goes beyond his clinical work; he represented his peers on the NSW Committee of Paramedics Australasia, the peak body for paramedics across Australia and New Zealand, for six years. During this time, he championed the establishment of competency standards and national registration, ensuring higher standards of care and professionalism in the field.
Craig’s teaching philosophy centres on a template approach and clear communication. Educated in instructional design at the University of Technology Sydney, he has the unique ability to demystify complex medical concepts, translating his hands-on experience into accessible learning. His approach emphasises “getting it from the head to the hands” through ethical, patient-based reasoning and logical decision-making, guiding students to handle emergencies with clarity, even under duress.
After a lifetime in the caring professions, Craig is committed to passing on the skills and knowledge that have served him well in his calling.
