The Smith & Nephew Global Wound Academy has been developed to provide worldwide access to education and information about the therapeutic area of wound management.
This website is intended for use by medical professionals only for general, non- case specific research and educational purposes and is in no way intended for use by persons who are not medical professionals. Nothing in this website should be construed as the giving of medical advice and in all circumstances, the advice of a fully qualified medical practitioner should be sought.
The Academy aims to offer a series of modular based courses at different levels through which you can extend your knowledge of wound care. To this effect, 'The Learning Zone' presents the theory of wound management in a modular format, moving from basic principles of physiology to advanced wound care and applications.
Interactive patient studies enable you to assess, diagnose and treat patients based on their medical history and the results of clinical tests. You can then find out if your diagnosis and subsequent treatment correlate with the latest thinking in wound care.
Among the many other sections that this site incorporates is a links page containing valuable information on other sites, which may be of interest to you and a library, which gives access to further information on wound management related to the site contents.
If you haven't already done so you can access all of this through a simple registration process that requires you to enter some basic information about yourself such as your name and job title.
