BurnsPlastics app for iPhone and iPad

BurnsPlastics is a responsive cross-platform application, aimed at assisting doctors and healthcare professionals working in plastic surgery and related fields.

The application serves as an introduction into the field with educational pages, as a reference resource for the practising doctors, as well as a toolbox to the more experienced surgeon.

This App was developed in partnership with PLASTA (the PLAstic Surgery Training Association for British trainees) and has been officially badged by BAPRAS (the British Association for Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery). All pages are referenced and have been reviewed by experienced surgeons with specialist interests in the relevant area holding a full BAPRAS membership.
