Be skin tear aware!
Skin tears are painful and distressing injuries that occur more often than people may realise. This common skin condition affects individuals with increased skin vulnerability and a lack of awareness means they are regularly misidentified, mistreated or even ignored.
By educating yourself, and other members of your team, you can play a key role in helping to reduce the unnecessary pain and suffering caused by skin tears. If you want to learn more on how to improve patient care, take this opportunity to join Dr. Kimberly LeBlanc, a key thought leader within this area, when she shares her insights, knowledge and experience related to skin tears.
