Seminar details:
Pain at wound dressing change has been identified as one
of the most distressing aspects of a chronic wound and can
have a major impact on the quality of life of a patient. A
number of Best Practice Documents have been developed in order
to provide guidance to Healthcare Practitioners, one of the
most recent from the of World Union of Wound Healing Societies
has identified 10 principles of best practice at wound dressing
change specifically designed to assist in minimising pain
at dressing-related procedures.
Yet recently it was identified that only 45% of HealthCare
Practitioners are regularly assessing pain during wound care.
Therefore, this seminar will focus on the important topic
of pain assessment during wound dressing change, presented
by Prof Christina Lindholm this session will provide an important
practical update into the importance of assessing pain, the
tools that can be utilised and the impact on outcomes that
may be achieved.
