With face-to-face interaction at a stand still since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a gap in our learning where practical, interactive workshops had a huge impact.

Una Adderley discusses the importance of data collection and analysis in changing practice and outcomes.

The problem of delayed wound healing has been highlighted in several publications which has stimulated debate on variance and the need for updated care pathways. This paper demonstrates how adjunctive therapy can be added to the ‘standard care’ model, described in the National Wound Care Strategy Programme’s recommendations for lower limb wounds, to enhance outcomes for patients with ‘hard-to-heal’ lower limb wounds (NWCSP, 2020). A decision-making pathway based on published literature is described which uses wound assessment and observed response to treatment to allow the effective and targeted introduction of adjunctive therapies for ‘hard-to-heal’ wounds. This approach will allow the cost-effective introduction of new and evolving therapies, such as WoundExpressTM (Huntleigh Healthcare), which addresses the underlying problems associated with resistant lower limb oedema and compromised venous function. The pathway also indicates how other adjunctive or innovative topical wound-based treatments can be integrated to optimise outcomes while providing cost-effective care.

In more down to earth language, project management is the way a person organises and manages resources that are necessary to complete a project. A project is simply a piece of work that has a start, an end, and goals. Projects can be very simple, like organising a party, or very complex, like building a space rocket. After all, it’s not rocket science, is it?
