    AbstractThe principle of the 'golden hour' is now well established and forms the basis of a growing number of instructional courses teaching a systematic approach to the management of major trauma. In April 1997, the EMSB course, developed by the Australian and New Zealand Burn Association, was adopted by the British Burn Association to meet the needs of health professionals dealing with major burn injuries in this country. The experience of the first 13 courses following the introduction of EMSB is discussed and the course is recommended as a requirement for the training of UK plastic surgeons and plastic surgery nurses.
