These resources are designed to support patients and private or family caregivers in managing wound care safely at home.
They provide clear, practical guidance on daily skin inspection, wound protection, dressing care, nutrition, mobility and prevention of complications. The materials help users recognise early warning signs, understand when to seek professional help, and take simple steps to support healing. Together, they aim to empower patients and caregivers with confidence, knowledge and practical tools for effective home-based wound care.
