Syllabus
Through this program nurses will have a thorough understanding of the pathophysiological processes that lead to the generation of skin lesions. The syllabus will delve into the evaluation of wounds, taking into account their early signs. In this regard, the syllabus will delve into the preparation of the wound bed, which will enable graduates to accurately assess the status of the lesions. The program will also examine the physiology of the skin in relation to Skin Lesions. Therefore, professionals will detect early signs of complications (such as infections or tissue deterioration) and perform rapid interventions.
You will master the most avant-garde techniques for the management of Skin Lesions, including Debridement”
