The modules are:

• Module 1: Skin Anatomy and the effects of Ageing (2 hours)
• Module 2: Risk Factors Affecting Healthy Skin (2 hours)
• Module 3: Wound Assessment, Photography and Management (2 hours)
• Module 4: Moisture Management (2 hours)

Access to the course is for 12 months and you can jump in and out of the course as often as you want, with each module remembering where you left off.

The Wound Care in the Ageing Population Course is under review by the Australian College of Nursing Accreditation program for 14 hours of CPD.
