Course Description
Wound care is more than a dressing change, it is a clinical science. This one-day intensive seminar guides clinicians through the complete TIMER(S) framework (Tissue, Infection, Moisture, Edge, Regeneration, Social), equipping participants with the assessment skills and evidence-based strategies needed to make confident, defensible wound care decisions. From foundational wound bed preparation to the social determinants that shape healing, this course addresses the whole patient , not just the wound on the patient. The day culminates in a hands-on sharp debridement lab where participants apply knowledge directly to skill, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
