Over 3.8 million people in the UK are living with chronic wounds — and how they are managed can shape a person’s quality of life, for better or worse (Mölnlycke Health Care, 2022). However, their management often falls low on the priority list, and the system pressures facing the NHS since the Covid-19 pandemic have exacerbated the problem. This means that patients are facing worsening outcomes through inadequate services — and are paying the price with their physical and mental health.
