The first 20 minutes after a burn or scald are important. Knowing the right first aid can help limit the severity of the injury. Remember: Cool, Call, Cover 💧 COOL the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes 📞 CALL 999 for serious burns or seek medical advice 🩹 COVER the burn loosely with cling film #BeBurnsAware #CoolCallCover
The first 20 minutes matter most - 'cool' with person running hand under water, 'call' holding mobile phone and 'cover' with person putting clingfilm on hand. CBT logo
