BE INSPIRED TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE

 

Using a workshop approach, and contemporary examples from practice, this is an enjoyable but professionally focused module. Below are just some of the topics we will explore together:

 

 Most pressure ulcers can be prevented – but how?

 How should the management of moisture lesions

 and pressure ulcers differ?

 Black necrotic tissue on heels should always be

 rehydrated?

 Peri-wound tissue needs to be protected – but what

 with?

 Dressing choices – making informed decisions
