Product Description
Review
“An excellent resource in providing a holistic approach to wound care for both professionals and student nurses.” Debbie Maddox, Community Staff Nurse
“A succinct, evidenced–based analysis of the care of wounds in the community and hospital…A very accessible well thought–out book which takes into consideration recent developments of wound management.” Sara Hutton, Staff Nurse
--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.Product Description
The management of wounds is becoming increasingly complex with the constantly expanding range of wound management products and technologies. This text provides an essential resource in effective and efficient wound–care management.
The Care of Wounds has been written based on current research and drawing upon the author′s wide experience in the field of tissue viability. This completely revised new edition covers all aspects of wound management. It clarifies areas of concern surrounding wound care and provides clear guidelines for the consistent management of wounds. Case studies assist in making the link between theory and practice, and emphasize the need for a holistic and multi–professional approach. A new chapter has been included on developing effective clinical practice in wound care. The number of full colour photographs used to illustrate the text has been greatly expanded. The evidence is presented in an accessible way so that it allows the reader to use the book both as a reference source and as a manual when caring for patients with wounds.
Written primarily for nurses, this book is also of direct relevance to all healthcare professionals with an interest in wound care.

Format:Paperback
This book provides an excellent introduction to health professionals who have little knowledge of tissue viability, particularly students . The whole book is well structured and follows a logical format, commencing with the physiology of wounds and wound healing. The final chapters of the book are devoted to nursing practice and policies which is useful for practitioners involved in standard settings. Whilst the book is too basic for more advance practitioners the book is well referenced through out which provides the reader with an opportunity to gain further information if required. Within the field of tissue viability this book is often seen as the 'bible' of wound care and most courses recommend it on their reading lists
