About the Programme

The National Wound Care Strategy programme (NWCSP) is commissioned by NHS England to improve care for people with wounds.

NWCSP Publications

We are developing a range of resources to help health and care professionals deliver better wound care and to help patients and carers understand what good care looks like and how to help care for their wounds.

Improving Wound Care

We are working with hospitals, community hospitals, community nursing, general practice, care homes and home care providers in our First Tranche Implementation sites to understand the challenges and develop solutions for improving wound care.

Information for patients

These patient resources cover a variety of wound care topics.

Supply routes for #WoundManagement products vary greatly between organisations and healthcare sectors. The NWCSP has developed a Review of Routes of Supply and Distribution resource to provide information on these different routes: https://nationalwoundcarestrategy.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/A-Review-of-Routes-of-Supply-Distribution-of-Wound-Management-Products.pdf #WoundDressings #Wounds

The purpose of the Pressure Ulcer Recommendations and Clinical Pathway is to provide clear advice to health and care practitioners about the prevention and management of #PressureUlcers: https://www.nationalwoundcarestrategy.net/pressure-ulcer/ #StopthePressure
