Tissue Viability and Quality Improvement Training Academy

Talking wound exudate and hidden risks to missing skin damage on brown and black skin at last weeks MK wound conference. Great to be back out there teaching again and meeting so many passionate nurses, carers and AHPs 🙌🏻

Working on emollient pathway, so many on the market! Skin hydration is essential for its function and barrier protection as well as feeling good. Dry skin is often neglected. Remember skin is the building blocks and the emollient is the cement 🏡

Calling carers in hospital, care homes or community in the UK !
I have a colleague looking to conduct zoom interviews with carers for 45-60 min call. Looking to discuss being a carer and looking after patients with chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, Diabetic foot ulcers and leg ulcers.
Time will be compensated. DM me for details and will forward info to you.

Thank you to the Royal College of Occupational Therapists for inviting me to speak on ways we can work together as MDTs to prevent pressure ulcers. It is so important to for nurses and allied health professionals to join heads to find joint strategies of working together in prevention planning.
Always get so many great ideas from AHPs, particularly loved this model one OT takes with her to clients to show areas of risk when seated 🌟🙌🤝

Happy new year 🥳 To all my nursing family across the world 🌎 you all inspire me every day and so proud to be one of you. It’s the year we will be kicking COVIDs butt 💪🏻🖕👊🏻 👩‍⚕️ 💕
