Education

Are you a healthcare professional wanting to know more about how best to manage wounds?

WoundsWest Education is an online interactive program designed by wound management experts. The program will help you provide better patient care by improving your ability to prevent and manage wounds.

This evidence-based program is free and can be used anytime - day or night.

The program is divided into modules:

Click to access the Core Wound Module Program

Core Module covers basic wound assessment and management
Pressure Ulcer Module focuses on pressure ulcer prediction, prevention and management
Foot Ulcer Module deals with assessment and management of the “at risk” foot

You can move through each module at your own pace:

test your current knowledge with a quiz
use a case study to carry out a wound assessment and devise a management plan
start from the beginning and enjoy your journey

Take a look and start learning – we suggest that you start with the Core Module, as the other modules build on the material in the Core Module.

Look out for our next module - the Burns Module. WoundsWest, in partnership with the Burns Team at Royal Perth Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital, is developing a module that will assist both hospital and community clinicians in the management of burns.

We will add more modules to our program over the next 12 months.
