What we do

Our service is open to children and adults under the care of a Kent Community Health Foundation Trust health professional or commissioned service.

We provide advice and support to healthcare professionals to develop and improve their own practice, aiming to raise the quality and standards of care in tissue viability.

How do you use this service?

We support all patients under the care of our trust.

In west Kent, referrals can also be made by a GP and nursing homes too.

An electronic referral can be made to the email address by your treating clinician.

Healthcare professionals in Medway can refer using this form - Tissue viability SBAR form 

Wound care for Medway children

Children and young people in Medway who require wound care should normally be seen through local wound clinic services. If a dressing change is required before a wound clinic appointment is available, interim wound care support may be provided.
