  • Compare & contrast acute and chronic wound infection, considering unique variations in clinical practice. 

  • Identify signs & symptoms of local (overt & covert), spreading and systemic wound infection. 

  • Examine clinical indicators of biofilm and chronic inflammation in the context of known prevalence in non-healing wounds. 

  • Overview the stages & known time frames of biofilm formation & reformation and describe strategic steps for everyday practice to disrupt & supress reformation.

  • Identify debridement as a globally recognised ‘non-negotiable’ in the prevention & treatment of hard-to-heal healable wounds, to address the formidable foe – biofilm.
