Pennine Care’s adult community nursing teams in Bury, Oldham and Trafford are developing a robust wound care self-management pathway, which aims to optimise high quality patient outcomes.
The project will include any patient with a low risk wound and it will involve four stages:
To internationally validate a tool for predicting the risk of delayed healing of venous leg ulcers (VLUs). Validation took place in UK, Austria and New Zealand, and includes community participants.

Objective: To analyse the treatment of pressure ulcers (PU) in long-term care. To read the full article, log in using your MPFT NHS OpenAthens details.
The aim of this case series is to highlight a combination of both clinically clear cutaneous malignancies and not-so-obvious wounds caused by malignancy. To read the full article, choose Open Athens “Institutional Login” and search for “Midlands Partnership”.
In efforts to reduce the number of avoidable pressure ulcers in a large trust, a number of initiatives have taken place to increase staff awareness about the importance of preventing and treating pressure ulcers and moisture lesions. New documentation, the use of the 'Think Pink' folders and a social media campaign have all proved successful in seeing the number of avoidable pressure ulcers reported within the trust reduce. As part of this initiative an evaluation took place of a new hydrocolloid dressing. This proved effective at reducing healing times, reducing dressing spend and facilitating regular inspection of the affected areas. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details
The aim was to assess evidence related to the measuring of subepidermal moisture (SEM) to detect early, nonvisible development of pressure ulcers (PUs). To read the full article, choose Open Athens “Institutional Login” and search for “Midlands Partnership”.
There is growing evidence that medical device-related pressure ulcers (MDRPUs) are an increasing healthcare concern. Prevention and management is complicated, as they are caused by devices that are often an essential part of treatment. All clinical staff have a duty of care to do no harm. Damage caused by medical devices is iatrogenic, that is, caused through treatment, and may be exacerbated by a lack of assessment and care.

Objective: To evaluate the methodological approaches used to assess the cost consequences of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in published scientific papers. To read the full article, log in using your MPFT NHS OpenAthens details.
Understanding the differential diagnosis between moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) and pressure ulcers (PU) ensures appropriate management and interventions are instigated at the earliest opportunity.
