Leandi was invited to present as a guest speaker at the South African Burns Congress. She shared how Richter Therapy manages to have such a high return to work rate of patients who sustained burn injuries at work. She also shared how we ensure all our patients with hand burns are discharged with functional hand use!
The presentation was well received by surgeons, nurses, and therapists working with burns patients nationwide. Giving them a practical 'how-to guide' on implementing our strategies in their own settings. It was commented that our success rate is unbelievably high.
From Leandi: "Working with burn patients remains one of the most challenging fields - we cannot do this alone! I would like to thank all the therapists who have tirelessly worked with each burn victim over the past 15 years, all our surgeons who trust us with their patients, all the nurses who help us continue with the much-needed therapy in the ward, and the theatre staff who support our innovative ideas.
What a big achievement to be invited and complimented on the excellent work we do in Richards Bay!
