Synopsis
The dual shift of clinician overload and patient empowerment is reshaping wound care. This presentation highlights how simple prophylactic solutions can minimise variation in care, reduce the burden of decision-making, and improve efficiency in clinical practice. At the same time, it also addresses the rising demand for patient-led care, examining how clinicians can guide patients toward safe, independent wound management without compromising quality or outcomes. It considers the shift toward patient engagement and self-management, examining how clinicians can ensure continuity of care by recommending simple, evidence-based approaches that are transferable from clinical to home settings.
