In human healthcare, pressure sores cost the NHS £2billion annually.
They are just as much as a challenge in veterinary medicine, but without clear identification and treatment protocols.
This lecture will cover the basics over what a pressure sore is, how to stage a pressure sore and what open wound management techniques are available.
Delegates will feel more confident in identifying a pressure sore in practice, and providing wound management solutions both in practice and for owners.
