The client has bandages over the majority of his body which are covering open wounds and blisters which require specific care to avoid infection. This is an extremely painful procedure, and the client has specific pain medication prescribed to help with this. There will also always be a carer present who knows the client well to provide him with emotional support and reassurance throughout the process.
Someone who is committed long term as training could take up to 6 months before the person is confident in doing this task alone (full pay is still received during this period)
