Chronic wound care

Proven tactics to ensure inclusivity

Chronic wounds affect over 3.8 million people in the UK. The NHS estimates that the total annual cost of unhealed wound management is £5.6 billion (Legs Matter). With our diverse population, care delivery must be inclusive and reflective of our differences. Ensuring that this is the case goes beyond measurement and into unraveling any bias in standard practices, and adopting solutions that allow healthcare providers to collaborate in delivering effective, inclusive care. Dive into this blog to discover the latest research and strategies for redefining wound care practices.

The increasing role of technology

Detecting pressure ulcers in darker skin tones

Health Tech News (HTN) hosted a webinar exploring how technology can improve the detection of pressure ulcers, particularly in patients with darker skin tones. The discussion was led by Isla's very own CEO, Pete Hansell and our special guest, Kumbi Kariwo who is the equality and inclusion project lead at Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. 

Following the webinar, our friends at HTN sat down with Kumbi to explore a bit more about her research and how it has translated into practice in Birmingham and beyond. You can read the full article here.

Supported self-care

As clinicians, when we leave that last appointment, we should feel certain that our patients are equipped for whatever’s next. And at that point, the best thing we can do is to let them live their life. Embracing the self-care model does just that.

We had a chat with self-management specialist Stephanie Lowen to discuss how self-care and self-management are applied in the realm of wound care.
