Maybe it challenges current practice.

Maybe it offers a solution to a familiar problem.

Maybe you've tried something that worked – or discovered something that didn't.

Maybe it raises a question that needs more discussion.

Bring it to .

❄️ Could cooling have a role in pressure ulcer prevention?
We know that pressure and shear are important factors in pressure ulcer development.
But researchers at the University of Southampton have been asking another fascinating question:
What happens if we cool the skin?
And, just as importantly… how do you cool skin in a way that patients would actually tolerate? 🥶
Professor Davide Filingeri gives us a taste of the thinking behind the CoolSkin research in this video.
Intrigued? That’s exactly why we’re sharing it.
Join Davide and colleagues on Monday evening to hear more about the research and discuss how its findings could inform clinical practice.
📅 Monday 5 October

Just one hour. One fascinating idea. Lots to discuss.

"What is the wound telling you? 🔎

A wound assessment isn't simply about recording its size and appearance. It's about gathering the information you need to understand what's happening and inform an appropriate management plan.

Could you confidently:

✔️ Recognise the stages of normal wound healing?
✔️ Carry out a wound assessment using a recognised assessment tool?
✔️ Identify signs and symptoms of wound infection?
✔️ Understand the principles of wound bed preparation?
✔️ Recognise common dressing types and when they may be appropriate?

If you'd like to build your knowledge – or refresh it – join us for Fundamentals of Wound Assessment and Management.

📅 6 October | 9.30am–12.30pm
💻 Online via Zoom
🎟️ FREE

Suitable for registered and non-registered nurses across a range of care settings.
