Clinics

Patients with complex wounds are referred to our wound healing clinics for diagnosis, assessment and specialist support and advice relating to their wound.
 
Patients may continue to attend the clinic regularly for ongoing management depending or more likely they will be managed jointly by working in partnership with the relevant community or primary care teams following a bespoke wound management plan.


As WWIC is actively involved in research, patients attending clinics may be asked to participate in a clinical research study. 

Also, patients may be invited to participate in an education session involving the many National and International visitors/students that the unit hosts. Patients are reassured that they are under no obligation to be involved in either and, as always, full consent is sought.


Referrals to clinic can only be made using the Welsh Clinical Communication gateway or via a referral letter addressed to the Complex Wound Clinic, University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.
