For healthcare professionals managing complex and non-healing lower-limb wounds
This free webinar is designed for NHS healthcare professionals involved in assessing, treating and supporting patients with lower-limb wounds, particularly those whose healing is delayed or whose needs require additional assessment and specialist input.
All professionals are welcome, but the session will be particularly relevant for:
Learn what made the difference when standard treatment wasn't enough
When a lower-limb wound is not healing, deciding what to change can be challenging. Hearing how other clinicians have assessed complex presentations, adapted treatment and involved specialist services can provide valuable insight into managing similar patients.
This case-based webinar offers the opportunity to understand the decisions behind real patient outcomes, rather than simply reviewing treatment recommendations.
Leave with practical lessons from challenging cases, greater confidence in recognising when treatment needs to change and ideas to discuss with your own clinical team.
