B.U.G.S.
(Burns Unit Group Support)
B.U.G.S. (Burns Unit Group Support) is a small registered charity founded in May 2000 by staff trained in burn care, and an ex-patient. It is based at Salisbury District Hospital Burns Unit and serves a large regional area. Although most patients come from within the region, sometimes people are admitted from other parts of the country.
B.U.G.S. supports patients and ex-patients who have been burned. The small team of volunteers who organise and staff B.U.G.S. are dedicated to providing enhanced care. The team supports patients in hospital by visiting and befriending them. After discharge the support continues through a drop in point where friendship, encouragement and practical information for ex-patients and their families are offered. It is also possible to link individuals in to professional help and advice. The group can recommend national, as well as local organisations if appropriate. When possible the group also organises outings and fun activities for its members. B.U.G.S. membership is free and open to all ex-patients and their families.
