How to accurately identify and describe the different tissue types and their implication on wound healing. The session will explore wound bed preparation including care of the peri-wound and surrounding skin.
Key barriers to wound healing, their implications towards wound healing, and how they may affect dressing/treatment selection will be discussed and explored (there will be limited discussion around dressings - please sign up for the ‘Dressing Selection’ session for in depth dressing discussion).  The session will reach its conclusion with discussions around next steps, including care planning, continuity of care, and when to refer on.

ObjectivesÂ

Event Speakers & Trainers
Matthew currently practices as an Advanced Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist working within a Hampshire NHS Trust.
He spent most of his career working in a community nursing setting, building a passion for wound care. In 2017 he became the first ‘Enhanced Wound Care Nurse’ in his trust, where, using enhanced knowledge and skills provided by the Tissue Viability specialist team, Matthew was able to evidence both better patient outcomes as well as a reduction in the number of wound care patient visits. Being successful in the role has led to the role out of ‘Enhanced Wound Care Nurses’ across the trust.
Matthew has taken the opportunity to become a community team lead on a secondment to hone his leadership and management skills, but was always keen to return to his passion and sought out a position in the local Tissue Viability Specialist Team as Advanced Tissue Viability Specialist Nurse. Matthew is an independent nurse prescriber.
Within his current role Matthew provides support, guidance and training to Primary Care across multiple practices in Hampshire. He regularly provides wound care training for community practitioners, community hospital practitioners, mental health practitioners, primary care practitioners, and nursing home nurses.
