Overview of the course:
This eighteen week on line competency based Acute Surgical Wound Management Course aims to support staff to develop a portfolio of evidence in Acute Surgical Wound Management. This theoretical and practically led course is targeted at all registered personnel, with limited knowledge or experience of Acute Surgical Wound Management. Topics to be discussed include Wound healing, surgical dressings and surgical debridement. Following submission of a portfolio of evidence developed during the 18 week course, successful candidates will be provided with written feedback and a certificate of competence.
