Wound Assessment training course Training Course
The purpose of Wound Assessment training course
Wound healing is a complex process and wound care is one of the major concerns in the current medical field. Clinical presentations of wound include diabetic foot ulcers, arterial and venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds etc. More than 451 million people in the world are affected with diabetes and this number is expected to increase to 693 million by 2045. Due to the shortage of well-trained wound specialists in primary and rural healthcare settings, many wound patients do not have access to specialized wound care and updated guidelines. In Wound Assessment training course we will provide the basics knowledge and assessment skills for healthcare providers in order to practice it.
A comprehensive assessment of wound characteristics is a fundamental component of wound management. A thorough, systematic wound assessment is essential to clinical decision-making in relation to aetiology and severity. It is the basis upon which treatments and wound dressings are determined and allows progress to be measured. In addition, health professionals are required to assess and record wound characteristics, but often have not received formal training regarding how to do this, resulting in varied and sometimes inaccurate assessments.
A systematic, standardised wound assessment promotes reliability and confidence, leading to better decision-making in wound management and, ultimately, improved outcomes for patients. This Course provides registered nurses, physician and other healthcare professionals with current knowledge and skills in regard to assessment of wounds.
Wound Assessment training course will provide you with guidance on the management of acute and chronic wounds. Demonstrate competency in the evaluation of patient care in the field of wound management. This course is provided by Jordanian Experts Team for Training and Consultation for all healthcare providers, online with accredited certificates.
