Description

Evidence-based practice… we talk about this all of the time, but it’s extremely difficult to make a change in a facility, even if we have the evidence. So, we wind up sticking to the same procedures because, “it’s the way our facility has always done it” and these strategies yield just okay results.

But as the world of wound care continues to change — with new treatment options, changing protocols, an ever-growing list of product choices, antibiotic resistance, and a rise in lawsuits related to wounds — our practice has to evolve.

That’s why we developed this intense one-day wound care training…

You’ll watch nationally recognized wound care expert, Heidi Cross, MSN, RN, FNP-BC, CWON, as she walks you step-by-step through wound assessment techniques, best practice wound products and treatments — including infection prevention WITHOUT antibiotics and actual demonstrations of product application.

Advancing your clinical insights has never been easier! With your purchase….

  • Purchase includes one CE certificate and contact hours
  • Invite your co-workers to join you! Additional attendees can watch the video with you, for FREE!

Don’t wait. Purchase today to take your understanding of wound care to the next level with this clinical demonstration lab!
