Wound Care Education for the Health and Care Workforce

The Wound Care Education elearning programme supports the health and care workforce in developing the knowledge and skills required to deliver appropriate wound care to people in any healthcare setting.

The high-quality, engaging elearning sessions are aligned to the UK NHS’s National Wound Care Core Capabilities Framework for England and give learners the requisite wound care knowledge and skills and provides a certificate to those who successfully complete the programme.

The Wound Care Education programme is suitable for nursing staff around the world, working in a variety of care settings.  The wound care programme supports the development of Tier 1 and Tier 2 knowledge and skills as set out in the framework.

Tier 1 gives a comprehensive overview of the essentials of wound care, covering topics such as:

• Skin care
• Wound assessments
• The causes of leg ulcerations
• The principles of taking good quality digital images of wounds.

Tier 2 sessions explore topics in more depth and include cases studies and a knowledge assessment which must be passed to gain certification.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH). 

The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes.  They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies.  They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS.  However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
