For clients experiencing systemic health and social inequities, wounds are more likely to occur and less likely to heal quickly or easily. The inequities these clients face mean they are also often less able to access care or to self-manage their wounds, whether because they have unstable housing, are using substances, facing socioeconomic challenges or for other reasons. Health professionals who care for these clients may also struggle to apply solutions that work well in hospitals or other well-resourced spaces. They may themselves experience stress working in this challenging setting.
Learn through case studies, readings and videos, interactive discussions and a mandatory short synchronous online workshop. Engage in discussion with your instructors who bring their advanced wound expertise and extensive outreach experience, and with your peers working in similar environments.
