Wound Management Services at Flinders Medical Centre

The Wound Management Nurse Practitioner is available to coordinate wound management for patients of Flinders Medical Centre (FMC) who have acute, chronic or complex wounds.

This service is available for inpatients and also offers an outpatient clinic.

Through delivering evidence-based wound management, the Wound Management Nurse Practitioner will:

  • provide a comprehensive assessment to determine why the wound is there, or why it is not healing.
  • assess the patient and their wound to develop an individualised wound prevention and management plan to optimise the wound healing
  • use a collaborative approach between the individual, their family/carers and the medical/surgical teams involved in their care
  • recommend a referral to another clinical specialty for further assessment if required
  • provide an ongoing evaluation for inpatients
  • provide education to promote understanding and participation in wound healing outcomes
  • assist with discharge planning to ensure support for wound management
  • provide a link between the Community Nurse and the GP to ensure continuity of care is supported and maintained
  • provide follow up in the Wound Management Clinic
