Entec Health were pleased to have their collaboration partners from Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust (HRCH) present an e-poster and free paper at the Wounds UK Annual Conference, Harrogate, 5-7 November 2018.

As first adopters of the Wound Care Buddy App (© Entec Health Limited), Tissue Viability Lead Nurse, Lillah Irwin, alongside Senior Lecturer Tissue Viability Edwin Chamanga, shared their experience and results on implementation of a Wound Care Mobile App to support best practice in community wound care.

Positive impacts and benefits of the Wound Care Buddy App reported by HRCH in peer-reviewed free paper session at Wounds UK 2018 conference:

• Encourages clinicians to holistically assess patients with wound care guidelines available at their “finger tips”.
• Reduces delays in starting appropriate care
• Supports appropriate referrals to TVNs
• From the reviewed data, there is evidence of clinicians frequently accessing the key dressings and formulary listings screens, which could be considered as evidence of wound care formulary compliance
• This meets with the Department of Health agenda of digital mobile working
