This education session will outline the essentials of the wound healing process and why wounds don’t always heal in a timely fashion. It will also cover the basics of wound assessment – including why it is so important to do this at every dressing change!

Jo-Anna is proud to have been involved in Tissue Viability since the turn of the century! She has worked in industry roles as well as in a Tissue Viability Clinical Nurse Specialist role during this time. Whilst she is now working back in an industry role, her mantra is ‘you can take the girl out of Tissue Viability, but you will never take Tissue Viability out of the girl!’. She graduated from Cardiff University in 2015 with an MSc in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair and remains as passionate about Tissue Viability today as she was when she first started to specialise in this clinical area. She maintains her NMC registration and is fortunate to have an Honorary Contract as a Tissue Viability Nurse with Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust.
