HOW TO IMPLEMENT NICE GUIDANCE LOCALLY

When consulted on best-practice to successfully implement UrgoStart Plus treatment range in to local practice, clinicians emphasised the following:

​

• Use a care pathway to ensure correct assessment and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers or leg ulcers

• Offer appropriate education and training to staff to increase clinical confidence and ensure appropriate patient selection

• Ensure UrgoStart Plus range is on your local formulary and ensure enough stock is available for the staff.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CARE PATHWAYS

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust example

Implementing a leg ulcer pathway proved very beneficial to clinicians, patients and the trust in Manchester.

​

By enhancing the importance of conducting a holistic assessment and the necessity to use the right dressing on the right patient profile, this pathway significantly improved healing outcomes.
