Are you looking to learn or teach the fundamentals of wound care that will help your facility with standards of care? Here are two tips & medical supplies to help you receive and/or provide the training you need.
1. Wound Care Skills Fair
This fair is an in-service that uses hands-on stations to help your staff get more comfortable with wounds. One station is a Heel Station. For this station, fill individual sandwich bags with rice, play dough, sand or sugar and a sponge. Put a knee high stocking on the bags and have your staff pick which one is the “normal” heel. Another station is a Pressure Ulcer Station, where staging, measuring, wound dressing options and case scenarios are practiced.
