2027 Wound Workshop Series: Preventing Hard-to-Heal Wounds in Primary Care

A four-hour, interactive workshop for nurses working in general practice, aged care and other primary healthcare settings.

Many hard-to-heal wounds begin as minor injuries. Early assessment, identification of underlying risk factors and timely intervention are critical to preventing wound deterioration.

This innovative, evidence-based workshop uses two practical case studies to explore how acute wounds can progress to hard-to-heal conditions and, importantly, how early clinical decisions can change wound outcomes.

From Skin Tear to Leg Ulcer – Explore how an acute injury can progress to a hard-to-heal wound and identify opportunities for early assessment, intervention and referral.

When Moisture Meets Pressure – Examine how moisture-associated skin damage increases susceptibility to pressure injury and explore practical prevention strategies.

• Wound healing physiology and factors affecting healing.
• Holistic assessment, goal setting and referral pathways.
• Application of contemporary clinical guidelines and consensus recommendations.
• Wound bed assessment using the TIME framework.
• An evidence-based approach to wound hygiene, wound bed preparation and product selection.
• Early interventions to minimise wound deterioration.

Strengthen your clinical assessment and decision-making skills through practical, case-based learning. Move beyond treating wounds to understanding how to prevent them becoming hard-to-heal.

Duration: 4 hours | Interactive, case-based learning
