Outline
Palliative wounds can cause serious physical, psychological and social pain. This workshop offers the opportunity to find out more about a holistic approach to care and management of palliative wounds.
Using the state of the art skills lab, Knowhow, at St Christopher’s CARE, our expert nursing team will provide small groups of learners with a thorough introduction to the principles and practice of the complex and challenging issue of holistic wound management. We will in the coming months be looking to develop a more advanced workshop on this important area of care too.
This two-hour skills workshop will include a theoretical presentation, case studies and time for a Q&A, as well as provide learners with everything they need to create an effective and holistic wound management care plan. Our expert tutors will also support you with ways of identifying common symptoms and the practicalities of wound management.
What will I learn?
- Definitions and concepts relating to fungating/malignant wounds
- Management of common symptoms related to wounds that don’t heal
- How to take a holistic approach to caring for patients with palliative wounds
- Participants will receive a certificate of attendance
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for nurses, nursing associates, health care assistants looking after people at end of life, including care home managers.
