Forged by fire: burns injury and identity in Britain, c.1800-2000

British tragedies involving burns and scalds have been seen on an individual and collective level for 바카라사이트 past 200 years. Burns remain a visually unique, sensually assaulting and emotionally overwhelming injury. With significant effects on mobility, 바카라사이트 self and identity, burns exact a psychological as well as a physical toll on 바카라사이트 individual. This project will explore how burns have shaped individual, urban and group identity. In 바카라사이트 19th century, 바카라사이트 mortality rate for burn injuries was 50 per cent. In 바카라사이트 first half of 바카라사이트 20th century, about 20 to 30 per cent of burned and scalded people annually were hospitalised and 2 per cent of those, half of whom were children, died. Today, burns injuries make up about 175,000 of all A&E visits, but only about 10 per cent of those result in hospitalisations, and 300 people die. There has been little done around prevention. While burns incidents have influenced 바카라사이트 professionalisation of ambulance and fire services, little is known about 바카라사이트ir roles in coordinating life-saving treatment. By considering 바카라사이트 ways in which burns knowledge is disseminated through history – literature, 바카라사이트 media, court records and so on – 바카라사이트 team aims to make a sustained difference to prevention strategies, potentially feeding through to national policy.
