“Gain an understanding of antimicrobial stewardship and the significance in wound management”
Course Content
There are many dressings available for managing wounds. Are you confused by the different types of wound products available? As a clinician, you may not have access to a wide range of products and feel that this limits your ability to manage wounds. How well do you know the different types of dressings and their mode of action? Does your product knowledge and choice impact on healing outcomes?
This webinar explores some of the most common dressings available and their mode of action. We will look at different categories and their actions as an approach to wound management. How do you choose a dressing when your “favourite” is not available? Do you know an alternative dressing?
This webinar will take a “product-neutral” approach to product selection and look at choosing dressings according to clinical need. We will also look at the changing needs of a wound and the importance of wound assessment and changing a plan to get the best healing outcomes.
