Practical Nursing – Wounds, Dressings and Sutures

Louise O'Dwyer

DMS BSc(Hons) VTS(ECC) DipAVN(Medical & Surgical) RVN

Head Nurse, PetMedics Manchester 

 

Course Synopsis

The aim of this practical course is to give qualified veterinary nurses or second year trainees the opportunity to learn more about practical wound management techniques as nurses are becoming increasingly involved in the management of wounds in small animal practice. In order to be able to carry out this role effectively, nurses require a good understanding of the wound healing process.

 

Lectures will cover assessment of wounds, wound care, choice of dressing and suturing techniques. These will be complemented by case-based seminar sessions and a suturing practical, which will involve the use of synthetic materials rather than animal tissue.

 

Specific areas to be covered

How to assess wounds and set objectives
'Advanced' wound management principles: delayed union and second intention healing
What to do with delayed healing and chronic wounds
How to create wound management 'clinics' in practice
How to select and apply dressings
Wound closure including tension relieving techniques
