Mastering Wound Care: Pressure Injury Essentials (Level 1)

Evidence‑based pressure injury prevention, assessment, staging, and dressing selection for healthcare professionals

This comprehensive course draws on more than 15 years of hands‑on wound care experience in one of the largest hospitals in the Middle East, giving you a practical, evidence‑based foundation in pressure injury (pressure ulcer) management. Designed for nurses and other healthcare professionals, it walks you step‑by‑step from prevention and risk assessment to accurate staging, treatment planning, and dressing selection in real clinical settings.​

You will build a strong understanding of how pressure injuries develop, how to identify patients at risk, and how to apply international guidelines (such as NPIAP/EPUAP/PPPIA) in daily practice. Throughout the course, you will learn to use validated tools (e.g., Braden scale), classify pressure injuries correctly, recognize infection and delayed healing, and apply the TIME framework to guide your wound bed preparation and product choices.​

The course includes more than 17 hours of video lectures, 100+ reading resources, quizzes, and case‑based activities designed to consolidate learning and improve your clinical reasoning at the bedside. You will see how to link assessment findings to clear treatment plans, select appropriate support surfaces and repositioning schedules, and document your wound care effectively to enhance safety, continuity of care, and quality indicators.​

This Level 1 program is ideal for:

• Undergraduate and newly graduated nurses who need a structured introduction to pressure injury prevention and management.​

• Staff nurses, wound link nurses, and allied healthcare professionals who want to update their knowledge and standardize practice according to current evidence.​

• Healthcare workers in long‑term care, home care, and acute settings who are responsible for monitoring skin integrity and escalating concerns early.​

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Identify risk factors and implement effective, patient‑centered prevention strategies.​

• Perform systematic wound and skin assessments, including accurate pressure injury staging.​

• Apply the TIME framework to guide wound bed preparation and dressing selection.​

• Communicate and document wound care clearly to support multidisciplinary teamwork and better outcomes.​

You will also be invited to join an active online community through the “Pressure Ulcer from A 2 Z” Facebook group and “PressureUlcerA2Z” Telegram channel, where you can discuss cases, ask questions, and share experiences with colleagues interested in wound care.
