Wound Dressing at home

Wound care at home by a qualified nurse.

Dressing changes and wound care at home, for surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers and pressure sores. Regular, clean, unhurried dressing is most of what decides whether a wound heals or worsens, and it is awkward work to do well yourself.

What this treats

  • Dressing Visit

What a visit looks like

  1. AssessmentThe first visit is spent understanding the problem — what hurts, what you cannot do yet, and what you need to get back to.
  2. TreatmentHands-on work and guided exercise, in your own rooms, using what you already have rather than clinic equipment you do not.
  3. Between visitsYou are left with something to practise. Most of the progress happens here, not during the hour someone is with you.

Wound Dressing — questions we get

How often should a wound be dressed?

It depends on the wound and what it is producing — some need daily changes, others every few days. The nurse will tell you what the wound needs and you can book a package if it is going to be regular.

Will the nurse tell us if the wound is infected?

Yes. Spotting that early is a large part of why regular professional dressing is worth it, and you will be told to see a doctor if it needs one.
