WORKSHOP 4 Sunday, FEBRUARY 16, 2025 AT 10:00-10:30 IN MEETING ROOM 1&2

Webinar Information

Instructor(s):

Gulnaz Tareq & Cassey Purvey

Educational Objectives:

  • Understand the Principles of Wound Bed Preparation
  • Define wound bed preparation and explain the TIME framework (Tissue, Inflammation/Infection, Moisture balance, and Epithelial edge advancement).
  • Identify and Assess Barriers to Wound Healing
  • Develop skills to assess wound types, recognize delayed healing factors (e.g., infection, biofilm, necrotic tissue), and determine appropriate interventions.
  • Demonstrate Debridement Techniques for Tissue Management
  • Explore and practice various debridement methods (autolytic, enzymatic, sharp, mechanical, and surgical) and understand their indications and contraindications.
  • Evaluate and Manage Wound Exudate and Moisture Balance
  • Understand the role of moisture in wound healing, select appropriate dressings, and implement strategies to control excessive exudate or dry wounds.
  • Perform Basic Vascular Assessments
  • Identifying wound perfusion is vital prior to undertaking wound debridement.
  • Formulate Evidence-Based Treatment Plans for Wound Healing
  • Apply knowledge of wound bed preparation to develop patient-centered care plans, incorporating assessment tools, advanced therapies, and monitoring strategies for effective healing.

Registration to the workshop is complimentary for delegates registered with the conference.
