The Northern Burn Care Network (NBCN) was created in 2008, in response to the National Burn Care Review, published in 2001.  The review identified clinical networks as the organisational model, or way of working, to drive change and improve burn care services for the populations in specific areas.

NBCN was established in spring 2008 for the population covered by the North of England (including the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber), North Wales and the Isle of Man.  It is one of four Networks for burn care services across England and Wales.  NBCN's total population is 15.4m: 2.9m children and 12.5m adults.
