    Dear Colleagues,

    ‘Wound field theory’ has raised its head again in our facility and we wish to seek advice, it is apparently being taught in universities across NSW???

    I’d be interested in your thoughts on wound field theory/concept.

    Does your facility teach it ?

    How does this fit with aseptic technique and aseptic non touch technique?

    Kind regards
    Jayne

    Dear Jayne
    This was published in 2009. Wound Field Concept was developed for community wound dressings
    We had to re-teach nursing students aseptic technique when they came into the hospitals.

    We now ask students what they were taught at Uni and we find now that they are all taught aseptic technique.
    Wound Field Concept has caused a lot of controversy

    Thanks

    Hi Jayne,

    We have had grad nurses come with the wound field concept idea. We now teach at orientation the Aseptic non touch technique and have a package for them to take with them with competencies, I am happy to share of line if you like. We do this with all new clinical staff in line with standard three.

    Kind Regards

    Thanks Joe,

    I suspect we may have to do similar once we have gathered all the evidence, as we understand it, wound field concept is OK to use on chronic wounds i.e. in the community setting but not for acute surgical wounds? Wound field concept has defiantly opened the debate here at our facility. Watch this space!!

    Many Thanks

    Jayne
