Best Practice Approach to Skin Health and Wound Management: Knowledge and Skills

This program, delivered through a one-day on-site skills lab and a webinar, is aimed at regulated health professionals, including allied health professionals who self-identify as novice or advanced beginner in their knowledge, skill and judgment of wound prevention, assessment and management. The program provides the opportunity to refine fundamental skills relevant to local wound care, such as debridement (inclusive of conservative sharp wound debridement) and bacterial burden and moisture management (including dressing selection).
