We are delighted to have been part of a working group led by NHS England to develop the wound care educational resources that support the General Practice Nursing (GPN) Core Career and Capabilties Framework.
The wound care education resource is one of six frameworks developed to support the professional development of general practice and community nursing teams. It has been carefully aligned with published frameworks for general practice, primary care and wider community nursing teams and the National Wound Care Workforce Framework.
This new resource identifies the suggested scope of practice for different health professionals and some of the key resources and education programmes available to professionals who care for people with or at risk of wounds. It is designed to be practical and accessible, to enable busy nursing teams to integrate into their daily practice.
The wound care educational resource and other resources supporting the framework are available on the Skills for Health website.
