New help for veterans’ wound care management

A new resources kit will help thousands of veterans and older Australians, by providing doctors, nurses and allied health professionals with the latest information on wound treatment.

 

The new kit contains the latest treatment information on 12 types of wounds that are common among veterans, war widows and other older Australians, and will assist health professionals to decide the most effective way to treat wounds.

 

It includes an updated wound care wall chart, as well as a new pocket reference guide and a CD-ROM, offering electronic and portable formats to provide health professionals access to wound care information at all times.  

  


The kit has been developed in partnership with the Pharmacy Faculty of Monash University as part of the Government’s Quality Use of Medicines program.

 

About 50,000 Wound Care Resource Kits will be distributed nationally to general practitioners, pharmacies, community nursing agencies, residential aged care services and other health care professionals.
