Wound care that keeps healing on track.

Increasing pain after the first two days, spreading redness, warmth, swelling, discharge that is thick or smells, or a fever. If you notice any of these, book the same day rather than waiting for your next dressing appointment.

There is no single right dressing. The choice depends on how wet or dry the wound is, whether there is dead tissue, the risk of infection and where it sits on the body. Your nurse will explain what is being used and how often it needs changing, and will give you what you need to manage between visits where appropriate.

We remove stitches and staples placed here or at a hospital. Bring the discharge summary if the procedure was done elsewhere so we know the intended removal date.
