Tissue viability training and wound care courses

Here at Guardian Angels, our first-hand experience of working in medical, clinical and care settings has taught us that every organisation has different requirements, so we tailor our tissue viability training and wound care courses to suit your exact needs. During their everyday duties, social and healthcare workers will find themselves in contact with patients or service-users with wounds that need attending to. These may be minor or moderate and caused by a variety of different reasons.

Our wound care and tissue viability training is delivered by NHS tissue viability nurse specialists, and aimed at delegates who wish to improve their skills and knowledge of wound types, pressure sores and skin deterioration, assessment, treatment, monitoring, recording and much more.

What do our wound care and tissue viability training courses cover?

We offer a range of different courses in this field, from basic to advanced, developing a syllabus to meet your needs. In addition to our wound care courses and tissue viability training, we can also offer other topics such as leg ulcer management and pressure area care for more specific requirements. Due to the variation in content, the syllabus for each course varies, but as a general guide, delegates can expect to learn:

• Subject knowledge assessment
• Professional, legal and ethical issues
• Wound etiology
• Wound types
• Wound phases/healing
• Factors affecting healing
• Dressing types and selection
• Summary and evaluation

Course duration

Our tissue viability training and wound care courses run between 3 and 30 hours, over 1 to 5 days, depending on your chosen content.

Assessment and certification

The course process consists of continual assessment by the course tutor, case studies, practical scenarios, OSCE's and workbook completion. Guardian Angels Training will provide the necessary competency proformas required to ensure safe and evidenced-based clinical practice following completion of our training course, allowing the registered provider to ensure mandatory competency assessments are completed within the workplace by a nominated mentor/supervisor. For more information regarding competency assessments or to request an onsite competency assessment conducted by one of our specialist registered nurse trainers, feel free to get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
