#TipTuesday For those managing diabetes, make it a habit to inspect feet regularly. Detecting signs of damage early is key, and remember, any loss of feeling isn't just a minor concern – it's a significant risk factor for potential foot ulceration. Stay informed, stay proactive!

#TopTipTuesday Not all lower limb redness or skin colour changes point to cellulitis. Various conditions like eczema, DVT, haemosiderin staining, and contact dermatitis can have similar signs. The crucial factor is proper assessment for better patient outcomes!#Woundhealing #WWIC

Did you know that hair removal to the natal cleft and peri-wound area in patients with pilonidal sinus disease is essential for reducing recurrence and promoting wound healing? Although there is little consensus on technique.......what technique do you use? #WWIC #Woundhealing

#TopTipTuesday Embrace the 'Fluff not stuff' approach when packing wound cavities! Avoid packing too tightly to prevent potential pain, trauma and delayed wound healing. Ensure you fill dead space to prevent abscess formation.Your wound deserves the best care! #WWIC #Woundhealing

#TopTipTuesday Did you know that there is a skin tear classification tool? The International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (@ISTAP) developed this tool to allow for consistent assessment and reporting of these common injuries. #WWIC #WoundHealing #skin
