This module aims to enable practitioners to achieve mastery in knowledge and competence in tissue viability. Competence in tissue viability enables the practitioner to offer greater effectiveness in wound care and potential health gain to patients. The module aims to assist the practitioner to develop a critical approach to their practice and to develop their expertise in therapeutic and educational roles within the field of tissue viability. The module also enables practitioners to continue to advance their knowledge and understanding, and to develop new skills to a high level.

This module is for nurses who aspire to develop their skills in tissue viability. It is relevant to those starting out in the field of tissue viability or nurses who wish to develop their wound care skills.
