Integrating Palliation into Your Wound Care Practice

Course Description

Moderator/Speaker: Oscar Alvarez, PhD

Palliative wound care should be centered on symptom management and is a viable option for patients whose chronic wounds do not respond to standard interventions, or when the demands of treatment are beyond the patient’s tolerance or stamina. Palliative wound care is the incorporation of strategies that prioritize symptomatic relief and wound improvement ahead of
wound healing (total closure).
