The SW Burns Clinical Network Psychology Specialist Interest Group (SIG) membership is made up of Clinical Psychologists from the Burn Care Services within the Network.  The group meets on a quarterly basis and provides a report at each Network Board meeting.

The aim of the group is to provide expert, professional advice to the Board on matters related to psychological care across the whole pathway of burn care. The objective of the group is to develop and deliver a project-based work programme, focusing on the need to constantly seek improvements in patient care and standards and to seek consistency in the delivery of care across the whole network.  

The current lead for the Psychology SIG is Dr Helen Watkins, Consultant Clinical Psychologist based at The Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery at Morriston Hospital in Swansea.  For further information, please contact: helen.watkins@wales.nhs.uk
