Course Description:

Effective wound management is a critical component of ensuring the well-being and quality of life for older people. We become increasingly vulnerable to injuries and skin tear as we age. This can escalate into chronic wounds, leading to significant pain, social isolation, and even life-threatening complications. Inadequate wound management is one of the most common clinical issues in caring for older people

At Altura Learning, we recognize the importance of addressing these challenges head-on.  This comprehensive course is designed specifically for healthcare workers, guiding them through the complexities of selecting the appropriate wound dressings based on their indications and treatment goals.


This course emphasizes the essentials of wound dressing regimens tailored to each person’s needs, ensuring that healthcare workers are well-prepared to deliver the highest standard of care.  Participants will benefit from engaging video content that demonstrates the Aseptic Non-Touch Technique for dressing wounds, ensuring that best practices are followed for the safety and comfort of residents. By equipping professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary for optimised wound management, we aim to enhance patient outcomes for the person in your care.
