StrongerBC Future Skills Grant – Wound Management for Health Professionals Level I

Wound management is an ever-present challenge for health professionals as risk factors for acute and chronic wounds become more and more prevalent in the population. Prevention and care planning require a strong foundation in the principles of wound management and evidence-based clinical practice.

This comprehensive online course provides health professionals with the essential tools to confidently practice evidence-based wound management within an interprofessional team. The course is taught over six weeks, followed by a one-week exam period. You will apply theory using visual case examples, interactive assessments, and collaborative discussion. Expect to spend 4-6 hours of study time each week. The main course concepts include:

• assessment and care planning for acute, chronic, and surgical wounds
• wound care product and dressing selection
• wound healing and prevention
• infection
• advocacy and evidence-based practice
• patient-professional collaboration and education
