Wound Management Resources/Tools

The following document resources have been developed and collected by the Wound Management Clinical Nurse Consultants involved with the Victorian Rural Wound Management Clinical Nurse Consultant Project (sponsored by the Victorian Department of Health). These resources are listed from their respective region of origin. They are not mandated but have been developed to provide generic wound management information relevant for health care providers in regional Victoria. These may or may not be applicable to your practice, therefore please consult with your organisation's wound management experts to determine their applicability to your practice setting. It is anticipated these resources may be utilised in implementation or updating of wound practice policies and protocols.

In addition, please click here to visit the Connected Wound Care page of this site to access further resources developed collaboratively.
