Free wound care education resources for clinicians
We know that improving wound care knowledge leads to better assessments, fewer complications, more consistent dressing choices and improved patient comfort. It also helps reduce costs by preventing unnecessary dressing changes and inappropriate product use.
However keeping up to date with all the latest developments in wound care is hard! Especially for busy clinicians.
To help you stay ahead, we’ve compiled some of the best online wound care education platforms — many of which are free or low cost — and highlighted how many of our amazing suppliers work hard to support ongoing education as well.
