The Tissue Viability Service
The Tissue Viability Nurses deliver advice and support to both adult and child patients, as well as staff, in a number of different ways. This includes supporting inpatients and patients cared for in the wider community by district nurses, practice nurses, and providing help and advice to care homes.
The aim of our Tissue Viability Service is to work alongside clinicians to assess and treat patients who are at risk of, or already have, complex wounds. These include:
- Pressure ulcers
- Leg ulcers
- Surgical wounds
This service is primarily based at the Knaresborough Road Health Centre, Harrogate. However, we provide services throughout Harrogate and the wider community.
Referrals
We accept referrals from healthcare professionals, who can refer via the single point of access service (SPOA).
