Nederlandse Brandwondenstichting
Op 16 juli 1971 werd de Nederlandse Brandwonden Stichting opgericht. De initiatiefnemers waren prof.dr. R.P. Hermans en prof.dr. A.J.C. Huffstadt. De brandwonden Stichting had toen als doelstelling: 'het ondersteunen van wetenschappelijk onderzoek inzake de behandeling van brandwonden'. Kort na de oprichting besloot het bestuur van de Nederlandse Brandwonden Stichting de doelstellingen uit te breiden. Momenteel zijn de drie doelstellingen van de Stichting: Het verbeteren van de behandeling, verpleging, verzorging van en hulpverlening aan personen met brandwonden; Het bevorderen van de kwaliteit van leven van mensen met brandwonden; Het bevorderen van preventie van brandwonden.

Stichting Kind en Brandwond
De Stichting Kind en Brandwond vult de behandeling van kinderen met brandwonden aan. Er is bijvoorbeeld speciaal oefenspelmateriaal voor hen ontwikkeld en door middel van video kan onder andere een verbandwisseling aan de ouders worden uitgelegd. Voor kinderen die langere of kortere tijd ontslagen zijn uit het ziekenhuis worden door de stichting speciale vakantiekampen georganiseerd. De Stichting Kind & Brandwond heeft er aan bijgedragen dat de ziekenhuisomgeving voor kinderen veel aantrekkelijker is geworden, met onder andere meer spelmogelijkheden voor kinderen.
Er is een verblijfshuis voor ouders van opgenomen kinderen, het Kiwanishuis, ingericht. Dit betekent dat de ouders dichter bij hun opgenomen kind kunnen zijn.
En er worden al jaren vakantiekampen voor de kinderen georganiseerd. Ideeën voor projecten komen van leden van de stichting zelf, medewerkers van de ziekenhuizen of door tips van ouders en/of kinderen met brandwonden.

Stichting IMPACT
Impact heeft tot doel het bevorderen van kwalitatief hoogwaardige en adequaat georganiseerde psychosociale zorg na rampen.
Tot het takenpakket van Impact horen het bundelen van ervaring en wetenschappelijke kennis, het inzichtelijk maken en beschikbaar stellen hiervan voor uiteenlopende doelgroepen en het bevorderen van samenwerking tussen betrokken partijen.

Dutch Program for Tissue Engineering
DPTE staat voor het Nederlandse Programma voor Tissue Engineering waarbij vrijwel alle Nederlandse universiteiten en academische ziekenhuizen, de Nederlandse organisatie voor gezondheidsonderzoek en ontwikkeling (ZonMw), Technologiestichting STW, een aantal onderzoeksinstellingen en bedrijven zijn betrokken.

European Tissue Repair Society
The European Tissue Repair Society, a non-profit making organisation founded in 1988, aims to promote knowledge and interchange between scientists, healthcare professionals, industry and other individuals that have an interest in tissue repair of all organs. The Society has an annual meeting and a number of focus meetings each year concentrating on different aspects of tissue repair, ranging from basic science to clinical aspects of healing.
The improvement of tissue repair as well as prevention of injury will be major challenges in the 21st Century and the European Tissue Repair Society has as its continued objective to contribute to these challenges.

Tissue Engineering International and Regenerative Medicine Society
To accomplish its mission, the Society brings together the international community of persons engaged or interested in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and promotes education and research within the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine through regular meetings, publications and other forms of communication. The Society also serves as an international forum to promote the informed discussion of challenges and therapeutic benefits of the application of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technologies.
Most importantly, the Society is committed to bringing you closer to key professionals to support your mutual understanding of the field, accelerate your research in the field and to enable you to contribute to the ultimate care of patients in this very important way. To affect this interchange of information, the Society has endorsed the journal, Tissue Engineering, as its official publication and has negotiated a reduced subscription rate for members of the TERMIS. In addition, the TERMIS publishes a quarterly newsletter for its members to keep them abreast of developments in the field. The TERMIS World Congress Meeting will be held every three years. In the interim years the Continental Chapters will host annual meetings to promote tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research regionally.

European Burns Association (EBA)
The European Burns Association is a non-profit making organisation for the benefit of the public, to promote burn prevention, to study the prevention of burn injury and all other aspects of burn treatment.
It also serves as a resource to facilitate communication and collaboration between burn care specialists. An exchange of information between the various burn centres in Europe will help us to promote the goal of the EBA.
The purpose of this forum is to bring medical specialists, researchers, paramedics, nurses and other workers in contact to discuss aspects of burn treatment and research. You will also find information about Guidelines for Burn Care, Committee Reports and the Newsletter.

American Burn Association
The American Burn Association and its members dedicate their efforts and resources to promoting and supporting burn-related research, education, care, rehabilitation, and prevention. The ABA has more than 3,500 members in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Members include physicians, nurses, occupational and physical therapists, researchers, social workers, firefighters, and hospitals with burn centers. Our multidisciplinary membership enhances our ability to work toward common goals with other organizations on educational/prevention programs.

International Society for Burn Injuries (ISBI)
The ISBI was founded in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland in 1965. Its first Secretary, General Mr. A. B. Wallace, said in 1965, "The delegates of the Edinburgh Congress aim to set up a permanent organization in the hope of reducing the incidence of this major scourge, as well as improving patient care, especially in developing countries." Since the Society was founded, the total medical care of burn patients has improved considerably. This is not only because medical science has improved but also because there is also a better understanding of the need for a team of professionals of different specialties such as surgeons, anesthetists,
bacteriologists, critical care physicians, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, etc. Each and every one of these specialists plays a very important role. Our society acknowledges the importance of all of these specialists in burn care and has intelligently admitted those professionals as members since its foundation. We must mention there are very few, in fact almost no other medical societies like ours which bring together such a number of different specialists, including nurses. One of the main purposes and aims of our society is to disseminate knowledge and to stimulate prevention in the field of burns.
