In this podcast, Professor Karen Ousey and Professor Sebastian Probst, full Professor of Tissue Viability and Wound Care at the Geneva School of Health Sciences, discuss the complexities of palliative care and its potential impact on wound practice.
They highlight the significance of a holistic approach, discussing key strategies such as pain relief, odour control, infection management, exudate regulation, and the crucial role of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) and person-centred care in improving patient outcomes.
A central focus of their conversation is the challenges faced by patients and families when skin integrity begins to deteriorate. They explore ways to navigate and overcome these difficulties, ensuring compassionate and effective care is maintained.
