Join Chetan Patel as he takes us through a refreshingly practical approach to managing hand wounds. He shows how most wounds can be managed using running water, Vaseline and clean dressings, and demonstrates how empowering patients to take ownership of their own wound management leads to faster rehabilitation and better outcomes.

Find out how infection develops, how to avoid it, and when antibiotics are (and aren’t) necessary. Learn about recommended management for both closed and open wounds, and discover how to carry out wound debridement, both in and out of surgery. Finally, get to know which wounds will not do well with standard management, and how they should be treated instead.
