About this course
Hello, and welcome to Florence Academy's Wound Care and Tissue Viability Training e-learning module.
This module aims to provide you with standard principles and best practice guidelines in relation to wound care and tissue viability. It is important to remember that local policies and guidance should always be followed and all staff have a duty to be aware of, and comply with, their organization's requirements.
Please take your time to complete this course. We anticipate this module will take you 40-60 minutes to complete. Once you have passed the accompanying assessment, you will receive a certificate of completion to be used to develop your portfolio alongside a record of your CPD credits.
