Wound Care in Swindon
Why Choose Our Wound Care Services?
Accelerated Healing
Laser therapy has been shown to be highly effective for pain relief and promoting tissue repair and promoting healing where other therapies have failed. It can be included in your wound care treatment to reduce healing times and improve outcomes.
Oversight and referral
Our aim is to work alongside other healthcare services to improve patient outcomes. Timely and effective wound care reduces the risk of complications, such as infections and delayed healing. Our services are designed to minimise the chances of secondary issues, ensuring a smoother recovery process. When further support is required, we help patients by monitoring their progress and quickly referring them back to the appropriate practitioner.
Who is wound care for?
Wound care is appropriate for anyone looking to improve their healing times and reduce the risk of infection:
- Supplementing NHS services - it can be difficult to secure frequent and timely wound dressing services through GPs and community care. We aim to fill any gaps in your care and work alongside NHS services.
- Post-Operative Care - With health tourism becoming increasingly popular, monitoring progress following an operation can be challenging. We aim to help patients confidently recover from treatment at home or abroad and reduce the risk of complications during their recovery.
- Faster healing and cosmetic appearance - Some patients simply want to recover quickly and/or well, to overcome challenging wounds, reduce scarring or return to their chosen activities or sports as quickly as possible.
