Purpose 1. Effective wound management requires an understanding of both the healing process and knowledge of the properties of dressings available. This formulary is designed to act as a guide for professionals to aid their clinical decision making in the area of wound care. 2. This formulary is designed to act as a guide for professionals to aid their clinical decision making in the area of wound care. The aim of the formulary is to provide evidence based, cost effective choices in wound management. 3. It should be recognised that a wound will require treating differently at various stages of its healing. No dressing is suitable for all wounds. 4. Practitioners should use their own profession and clinical judgement in individual patient circumstances. 5. This document should be considered for all healthcare professionals who are providing care to patients with wounds. Prescribing Tips 1. Ensure you are familiar with the Wound Care Formulary and prescribe formulary dressings in line with this. 2. If you are a Non-Medical Prescriber (Nurse, Podiatrist, Pharmacist, etc.,) you should only prescribe / request / recommend dressings within your competence (on your P-formulary or in this formulary) in line with guidance set out by your governing body. 3. Prescribe dressings as an acute prescription (one off) and do not routinely add to repeat as dressing requirements (type, size, quantity) can change as wounds heal. 4. Silver, honey or other short term dressings should never be added to repeat. 5. Prescribe a quantity that is clinically required rather than the whole pack for ease of use. The quantity should generally be limited to a 2 week supply. Try to determine how many dressings are being used and the frequency of dressing change in order to prescribe a suitable quantity. 6. All Pharmacies in Bolton can order the exact number of dressings you prescribe always prescribe the exact number you estimate will be required until next review. 7. Prescribe the most appropriate size of dressing. Larger dressings cost more and doubling up with smaller dressings can be wasteful and affect the effectiveness of the healing. 8. Prescribe dressings by brand name 9. Incidents regarding dressings should be reported through your organisations normal processes to ensure that any lessons are learned. This includes wasteful prescribing, inappropriate dressing choice, examples of poor care or other issues that includes wound care that can be used to highlight and improve the care given to people in Bolton. 10. Items that are listed as Tissue Viability Nurse are only be to issued on recommendation of a specialist. As prescribing information will be used to review this formulary you will be required to evidence your use of non-formulary or specialist items. 3
