Wound Management

Our Wound Management & Suturing course will give you all you need to sharpen your skills & confidence when dealing with open wounds in sport.

Designed to teach you how to assess, manage and select the appropriate wound closure technique for a variety of traumatic wounds.

Instructors are specialist doctors and advanced practitioners that use their own experiences in providing an interactive and engaging delivery.

You will be guided through practising your skills in suturing, stapling and glueing, combined with essential theory to ensure you know when “in-field” suturing is appropriate.

Attendees always enjoy practical work with lifelike specimens that give you true to life training with high-quality sutures and equipment. Let us help you with the follow-up and referral procedures, along with total clarity on the legal issues and full confidence when suturing.

You’ve no doubt found it hard (and expensive!) to fully kit out your suture bag. Saving you time and money, you can purchase the Wound Management & Suture kit bag on the course too. Filled with the equipment you’ve practised with, it contains all you need to confidently manage wounds in the field.
