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.
The Wound Care Challenge
"420,000 people suffer each from a chronic wound in Australia. The Australian government spends $3 billion of the budget each year on wounds" (Wounds Australia, 2022)
-
Solution 1: Improve Wound Care EDUCATION for allied health professionals
-
Solution 2: Utilise the PHARMACIST workforce to manage acute wounds and triage chronic wounds
-
Solution 3: SUBSIDISE wound care products and services in primary care for people at risk of chronic wounds
-
Solution 4: Build REFERRAL pathways in the community for timely management and access to wound care

Read MoreI 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 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.

Read MoreI recently completed the wound care course for pharmacists and highly recommend it to anyone in community pharmacy looking to expand their services. Before the course, I was seeking validation and confidence in my wound care practices—this course delivered both. The content was practical, easy to understand, and the visually appealing slides made learning enjoyable. Lusi’s passion, patience, and kindness shine through in the course design. Part 2 allowed me to apply my knowledge in practice, and the assessments were manageable, reinforcing key concepts without being overwhelming- this is a must-do course and I highly recommend it to all pharmacists! Thank you Lusi!
