A wound that is slow to heal needs the right dressing, the right technique and a nurse who watches it over time. Our wound care nurses manage surgical, chronic and complex wounds at home, so healing is monitored properly without repeat trips to a clinic.
We care for post-operative incisions, pressure injuries, leg and foot ulcers, skin tears and diabetic wounds. Each is assessed, photographed and tracked against a healing plan, with dressing choices matched to the wound stage rather than whatever happens to be in the cupboard.
When you have been discharged from a hospital such as The Alfred, Cabrini, Holmesglen Private or Sandringham Hospital, we pick up where the ward left off and keep your GP and surgeon informed throughout.
Dressing changes, suture and staple removal, and vigilant infection monitoring so surgical sites heal cleanly.
Evidence-based management of pressure injuries, venous and arterial leg ulcers and non-healing wounds, including compression where indicated.
Careful foot and skin checks for people with diabetes, catching problems early and coordinated with our diabetes support.
Measured, photographed reviews and clear reporting to your GP, wound clinic or specialist so decisions stay evidence-based.
Structured, monitored and coordinated from the first visit:
Poor wound care is a leading cause of avoidable hospital readmission. Our nurses are Division 1 and 2 Registered and Enrolled Nurses working to current wound-management guidelines, with a clinical lead who practises in a major Melbourne hospital. Where a wound needs specialist input, we say so and coordinate it rather than guess.
