The web cast will focus upon how recent research is helping
to deepen our understanding of the role of shear and skin
microclimate in the aetiology of pressure ulcers.

Seminar details

This seminar is presented by Dr Kevin Woo and reviews the relationship between wound pain and the resultant stress and delays in wound healing.

Seminar details

This seminar is presented by Wendy White and will detail the history of the development of our knowledge of pain within wound care; it will discuss the impact of wound related pain on the individual and lay out 10 suggested actions a health care practitioner could implement to change the life of their patient in terms of wound related pain.

Seminar details

Presented as part of the Molnlycke Health Care Symposium at the 2009 European Wound Management Conference this presentation aims to explore the clinicians’ awareness of the effects of pain and stress on wound healing, and whether or not this is being assessed and managed in clinical practice using an electronic voting system.

Seminar details

Presented as part of the Molnlycke Health Care Symposium at the 2009 European Wound Management Conference this presentation re-explored the results of a Multinational Wound Pain Survey using data from the European participants and focusing on 3 key themes:
1. Wound pain intensity and wound aetiology
2. Wound pain and dressing change
3. Pain relief strategies

Seminar details

Presented as part of the Molnlycke Health Care Symposium at the 2009 European Wound Management Conference this presentation shared the patients view on wound pain and highlighted key take home messages on how the patient can be involved in their dressing removal and selection process.

Seminar details

Pain at wound dressing change has been identified as one of the most distressing aspects of a chronic wound and can have a major impact on the quality of life of a patient. A number of Best Practice Documents have been developed in order to provide guidance to Healthcare Practitioners, one of the most recent from the of World Union of Wound Healing Societies has identified 10 principles of best practice at wound dressing change specifically designed to assist in minimising pain at dressing-related procedures.

Yet recently it was identified that only 45% of HealthCare Practitioners are regularly assessing pain during wound care.
Therefore, this seminar will focus on the important topic of pain assessment during wound dressing change, presented by Prof Christina Lindholm this session will provide an important practical update into the importance of assessing pain, the tools that can be utilised and the impact on outcomes that may be achieved.

Seminar details

This seminar will focus upon the following 3 key areas:

1. Discussion on patient safety issues – what are the key drivers and why is continuous development important

2. What are the challenges to ensure practice development is long lasting and effective – what is the impact on the patient of not continually developing practice

3. Overview of initial steps and ideas to changing practice

Seminar details

Presented at the Presented at the Molnlycke Symposium at the World Union of Wound Healing Society Conference 2008 this presentation reveals the results of an International Survey of over 3000 patients. The patients' were initially being treated with traditional dressing products and reported high levels of pain and trauma. They then moved to receiving soft silicone based dressing products and reported reductions in both pain and trauma.

Seminar details

Presented at the Mölnlycke Symposium at the World Union of Wound Healing Society Conference 2008 this presentation is the third in a series that detail key Best Practice Statements from the WUWHS. Statement number 7 focuses upon dressing selection based on wear time, pain reduction, moisture balance and preventing peri-wound maceration.

Seminar details

Presented at the Mölnlycke Symposium at the World Union of Wound Healing Society Conference 2008 this presentation is the second in a series that detail key Best Practice Statements from the WUWHS. Statement number 5 focuses upon choosing dressings that minimise pain and trauma and discusses the role that dressings with soft silicone may play.

Seminar details

Presented at the Mölnlycke Symposium at the World Union of Wound Healing Society Conference 2008 this presentation firstly focuses upon the effects of wound pain and then discusses why pain assessments should be implemented.

Seminar details

Presented at the Mölnlycke Symposium at the World Union of Wound Healing Society Conference 2008 this presentation discusses firstly the development of a pain assessment too but also focuses upon the actual implementation of such a tool in clinical practice.

Seminar details

Presented at the Mölnlycke Symposium at the World Union of Wound Healing Society Conference 2008 this presentation focuses upon the results of a patient centred survey designed to understand the effects of pain at wound dressing change.

Seminar details

Presented at the Wounds UK Conference, Harrogate, UK in 2006. This seminar shares the results of focus groups held with patients experiencing wound pain In order to develop a questionnaire for a large multi national study. The results graphically demonstrate the extent of living with wound pain.
