Wound care within the network
Chronic and complex wounds need continuity. Clinical direction sits with a consultant surgeon within the network, case management with a named contact – agreed between practice, nursing service and hospital.
What we take on within the network
The actual scope follows the medical indication in each individual case.
Physician-led
- Consultant wound rounds
- Surgical treatment where indicated in the individual case
Nursing

- Dressings and materials supply
Monitoring and documentation
- Video consultations to follow progress
- Wound documentation and prescriptions
Who provides the care
- Wound care exclusively by certified wound care nurses
- Certification to ICW standard (Initiative Chronische Wunden e. V.)
- Physician-led surgical direction across the network
