  • Title: Clinical competence in sharp debridement: an innovative course.
    Author: Bentley J, Bishai P, Foster A, Preece J.
    Journal: Br J Community Nurs; 2005 Mar; 10(3):S6-13. PubMed ID: 15824711.
    Abstract:
    A quick and effective way of promoting wound healing is to carry out sharp debridement where indicated, but this procedure carries a high level of clinical risk. Minimizing risk is an essential feature of clinical governance. A new course in wound debridement was developed at King's College, London in response to local NHS trust demand which required assessment of competence for this high-risk procedure. This innovative development crossed traditional boundaries, and required high collaboration between education and practice.
