Referral Guidance to CHLN - Resident in Care Home with a non-progressing wound

This guidance was collated by a short life working group of care home representatives from all HSCP partnerships.

The guidance provides a clear decision making pathway for care home staff /care home liaison nurses to ensure streamlining of referrals following identification of a wound that has shown no signs of progressing in two weeks. All wounds should show signs of progress (evidence of progress towards healing, reduced size, reduction in slough and necrotic tissue) over a two week period.

If not ensure all steps are completed within your column before making referral to next stage.
