Advanced lower limb management – an interactive workshop

26 April 1100 – 1230 – FULLY BOOKED

27 April 1130 – 1300 – FULLY BOOKED

Sponsored by L&R

Objectives

After attending this session, persons will be able to:

• Explain the factors that cause complexity in lower limb wounds
• Identify when complexities mean that standard therapy may not be enough to promote healing
• Understand the links between mobilty and lower limb wounds
• Understand some advanced techniques via demonstrations although attendance will not lead to clinical competence in using these techniques

Abstract

This workshop is designed for practitoners who are already confident and competent with the management of lower limb ulceration and the application of compression therapy.

The interactive workshop will refresh learners on some of the existing principles of effective compression therapy and introduce new knowledge for when ulceration is complex and standard interventions won’t always be effective.

There will be a show case of some advanced techniques as well as the opportunity to experience a practical taster session. Attendance at this workshop will not ensure learners are competent to undertake these techniques in clinical practice, it will however offer a taster of the knowledge and skills that delegates may wish to go on and develop as they advance their practice.

Speakers: Georgina Ritchie, Fran Worboys, Gabriela Korn

Different debriding techniques – practical workshop

26 April 1545 – 1715

27 April 0915 – 1045

Sponsored by Coloplast

Objectives

After attending this session, persons will be able to:

• Describe techniques for debriding wounds
• Demonstrate with some case studies the benefits of debriding a wound
• Understand the contraindications to some debridement methods

Abstract

Debridement techniques have been reported as far back as 2000 BC, and have developed considerably over the years, with some very complex methods used in clinical practice today.

Patients today have increasingly complex needs. The importance of debriding a wound to remove devitalised tissue and disrupt biofilms to encourage wound healing and improve outcomes cannot be overstated.

During the workshop there will be an opportunity to try out some of the techniques discussed on improvised models.

This session is an introduction and will not give you the necessary competence to use all debridement techniques.

Speakers: Joanna Swan, Gill Sykes and Ayesha Marshall
