Wound Balance: Why Managing the Wound Is Only One Third of the Story​

How can healthcare professionals move beyond “just treating the wound”? In a new Wound Care Insights episode Professor Karen Ousey interviews Professor Harikrishna KR Nair, President of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies, about why effective wound care requires looking beyond the wound itself and considering the wider patient context.

The conversation explores the concept of Wound Balance, highlighting how patient factors, wound characteristics and clinical care must work together to support healing.

Listeners will gain practical insights into how a more holistic and interdisciplinary approach can help address everyday challenges in practice: from delayed healing and patient adherence to improving healing trajectories and reducing the risk of complications and recurrence.
