Why should I prioritise Wound Care NOW?

"Pharmacists are ideally placed to advise patients on the use of dressings, encouraging best practice and ongoing self-care in suitable patients. Patients should be informed to use dressings correctly, in line with agreed treatment goals" (Ousey et al, 2021)

Reason 1: The scope of practice of pharmacists in acute wound care management is expanding in Australia, and we need education before we can provide a Wound Care Service.
Reason 2: You can establish an innovative Wound Care Clinic and deliver a valuable and impactful service to your community.
Reason 3: Pharmacists are an integral part of the Allied health care team and need to be skilled and knowledgeable in wound care, and collaborate with local health services.
Reason 4: We need Wound Care Pharmacists and Teams to help us tackle the global Wound Care Challenge together, NOW.

Course reviews

Great course!

Micaela Ferrington

I am so glad I completed this course during my intern year. Lusi explains everything so well and I found the workload manageable on top of all my intern year course and exam study. I have always been quite unsure with wounds but I have found with this course I am a lot more confident with my recommendations in the pharmacy and when having discussions with patients. I am looking forward to completing part 2 and setting up a wound care service within our pharmacy.

This wound care course is relevant, thorough and informative. Greatly appreciated the samples and folder as this assists in retaining the knowledge and practical application of dressing types

This course covered key points of wound management in a short amount of time. Soon after the course, I was able to apply the knowledge to an elderly lady who came in to seek help for the management of skin tear.
