Our innovative and highly regarded Wound Care Clinic offers expert care for former patients and people in the wider community. The Clinic commenced in 1990, and now treats more than 600 patients each year.
The majority of patients attend the Clinic with chronic ulcers and minor trauma. Ongoing wound care can be conducted in the Wound Care Clinic as the sole practice. Alternatively, this can be coordinated in liaison with community nurses or the HITH Team (where appropriate). This will be determined by doctor and / or patient preference.
The Wound Care Clinic is located on Level 3 of the Hospital, and can be accessed through the first Hospital entrance near Fox Valley Medical & Dental Centre. Patients are able to park in the Radiation Oncology designated parking directly outside the Clinic.
Gary Bain is a Clinical Nurse Consultant, and manages the Wound Care Clinic. He has a Masters Degree and many years experience in wound management, and is assisted by registered nurses. The Clinic is a member of the Australian Wound Management Association and the Advanced Wound Care Network.
