An NHS England programme delivered by the Health Innovation Network
About the Programme
The National Wound Care Strategy programme (NWCSP) is commissioned by NHS England to improve care for people with wounds.
NWCSP Publications
We are developing a range of resources to help health and care professionals deliver better wound care and to help patients and carers understand what good care looks like and how to help care for their wounds.
Improving Wound Care
We are working with hospitals, community hospitals, community nursing, general practice, care homes and home care providers in our First Tranche Implementation sites to understand the challenges and develop solutions for improving wound care.
Information for patients
These patient resources cover a variety of wound care topics.

If you are based in England, sign up to one of our stakeholder forums and take part in our consultations to help us improve wound care together.
