We celebrate reaching 3 episodes with a lot more prickly topics affecting anyone attending woundcare. Join Mon and Don as we burrow into the issues inherent in reaching a wound aetiology - or is that a mechanism of injury? How confident are we? What are the barriers and pitfalls and are we setting unrealistic expectations for the everyday clinician in documentation that informs the care planning?
