Facilitated by registered nurses with first hand clinical experience, our ‘Wound Care’ course can be delivered within a half-day session (Essentials) or a comprehensive full-day course (Fundamentals) for senior carers or registered healthcare professionals.
This blended learning course allows attendees to gain theoretical and practical understanding of wound care best practice.
This training course is intended to cover all aspects of wound care including practical application within a classroom environment.
• To examine the anatomy & physiology of normal healthy skin
• To state the importance of being able to grade an advancing pressure wound arising from pressure damage.
• To classify the stages of wound damage and consequence of wound healing processes
• To conduct a simple wound assessment using the model T.I.M.E
• To demonstrate the significance of wound assessment tools in predetermining progressive wound care.
• To consider the choice of dressings directed by wound appearance and microbiological findings and how to perform wound dressings safely using ANTT methodology.
2 million patients are treated for wounds every year at a cost of more than £5 billion to the NHS. Most of this figure pays for nursing care costs rather than dressings and associated products (Hansard, 2017).
This cost is more than the spend on tackling obesity, which is the centre of major national campaigns. Treatment costs include more than 700,000 leg ulcers and 80,000 burns. Pressure ulcers also feature highly, with estimates of an 11% increase overall each year (Hansard, 2017).
Healthcare professionals working with secondary care with existing wound care knowledge wanting to enhance their current skills/ knowledge and review current practice. Or those new to wound care looking to acquire new skills and practice effectively.
Registered nurses with first-hand clinical experience.
