Developing shared care between hospital and community - what can you do?

T

his year’s Scottish Wound Care Conference provides an update on key interventions and important issues affecting clinicians working in wound care. Sessions include:

New tools – update on national programme and existing guidelines CPR for the feet An inspector’s perspective on wound care – how to improve standards and ensure best practice in care homes Patient wellbeing – what’s new and how to assess patient wellbeing Avoidable pressure ulcers – where are we now?

Now in its 15th year, this free-to-attend event will continue to provide healthcare professionals in Scotland with an unrivalled opportunity to access high-quality education, and to enhance their CPD portfolios with dedicated workbooks.

This conference is an opportunity to benefit from shared experiences and to challenge, improve and confirm existing practice – a “must attend” for any clinician treating patients with wounds.

We look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow.
