The Tissue Viability Nurse provides a comprehensive assessment and treatment and provides specialist advice and knowledge for tissue viability and wound care management and lymphoedema to our rehabilitation clients following a referral.

They work collaboratively with the client, case managers and MDT by providing advice and training to support ongoing rehabilitation and help prevent inappropriate and unnecessary hospital admission.

They are able to assess and provide advice and management around equipment to support 24 hr postural management that would also promote good tissue health.
