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.
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're 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.
