Standard Operating Procedure for DCHS Wound Clinics (S68)

The service continues to evolve in response to evidence-based practice and patient need.

These approaches facilitate a more flexible service, support improved access to care and reduce the need for patients to travel to clinics if it is not necessary. The DCHS Wound Clinic Standard Operating Procedure has been developed to support the management of the clinics and the processes that should be adopted to facilitate the safe and effective management of patient care.
