A case study in evidence-based wound management

Abstract:
On the first of July 1998, Frank Dobson, the then Secretary of State for Health, revealed the consultation document 'A First Class Service' (Department of Health (DoH), 1998). This article describes a wound management case study which showed how a first class service was provided for a patient with very severe pressure ulcers and complex medical problems. A multiprofessional approach to her complex and challenging problems was maintained. Evidence-based guidelines for the prevention and management of pressure damage were followed, supported by modern researched-based wound management and pressure relief. In addition, risk management strategies were observed, and provided the basis for planning and evaluating her individualized care.
