Community tissue viability service
Our service supports community hospitals, hospices, Fife’s care homes, district nurses, treatment rooms and GPs by providing education and local improvement initiatives by using evidence based practices and pathways of care. We also co-ordinate the provision of specialist pressure relieving equipment from Fife’s Community Loan Store alongside Fife Council.
What we do
The team provides pressure ulcer and complex wound assessment, advice, prevention and management. We are responsible for ensuring the quality of patient care is reviewed, assessed, implemented and monitored to maintain standards of care for patients and their families.
In addition, we are responsible for the clinical audit of specialist nursing services for Community Tissue Viability to ensure evidence based practice monitoring of standards of care within the defined policies.
