Wound Management

CPD and short courses (short course)

Blended learning, Cambridge, Chelmsford

12 weeks

Module level: 6 and 7

Module credits: 30 credits

Overview

Deliver higher-quality patient care by developing your existing wound-management skills. Focus on wounds at cellular level, including factors which promote or prevent healing. Make informed decisions about care strategies and advanced wound-healing technologies. Add depth to your existing skillset, and enhance your career prospects in the process.

You’ll be a registered nurse, health visitor, midwife or other healthcare professional working in a hospital, community or commercial setting. Wound management will already form a significant part of your workload. You’ll be looking to deepen your clinical and technological understanding, enhance your patient-care skills, and advance your career prospects.

You’ll focus on the healing of wounds at cellular level, enabling you to assess wounds arising from different causes within your own clinical setting. You’ll learn to critically appraise and make informed decisions about the use of different care strategies (generally and for individual patients) as well as advanced wound-healing technologies.

Course content:

  • physiology of wound healing
  • underlying factors which prevent or impair healing
  • preparing the wound bed
  • care strategies and advanced technologies
  • research for healing and non-healing wounds
  • developing high-quality wound care for individuals.

Our course features a mixture of lectures, student-led seminars and problem-based learning over the course of eight study days. It's taught by an inter-professional team; our senior lecturer was a nurse consultant in tissue viability. You’ll be assessed through a 4,000-word coursework essay.

Who should attend?

Registered nurses, health visitors, midwives or other healthcare professionals who are employed in a hospital, community or commercial setting. You should manage wounds as a significant part of your workload.

If you are working as a Health Care Assistant in a relevant setting, you can attend all of the teaching on this module at level 6, without the need to undertake an assessment. You'll receive a certificate of attendance for your records, and are welcome to take the assessment to obtain academic credits.
