wound and dressing care
It can be difficult to know where to turn if you have had surgery abroad but require some wound care upon your return to the UK. Or if your busy schedule means you can't book in with your GP nurse at a time that suits you.
Our qualified and trained nurse can assist with the dressings management of most types of wound whether it is surgical, chronic or due to recent trauma.
We are not able to suture a wound, if stitches are needed we advise attendance at a Minor Injuries Unit or A&E.
Should your wound require ancillary medicine, for instance if an infection is present, you will need to see your GP or doctor.

- If necessary we can carry out an initial assessment of the wound, or report on progress or changes.
- During a change of dressing, the wound will be examined and cleansed as appropriate.
- Depending on the condition of the wound an appropriate dressing will be applied or recommended in order to optimise recovery time.
