Why is it Important?

2 million patients are treated for wounds every year at a cost of more than £5 billion to the NHS. Most of this figure pays for nursing care costs rather than dressings and associated products (Hansard, 2017).

This cost is more than the spend on tackling obesity, which is the centre of major national campaigns. Treatment costs include more than 700,000 leg ulcers and 80,000 burns. Pressure ulcers also feature highly, with estimates of an 11% increase overall each year (Hansard, 2017).

Who can be trained?

Healthcare professionals across all settings looking to enhance their current skills/ knowledge and review current practice. Or those new to wound care looking to acquire new skills and practice effectively.
