Supporting self care for wounds

Bio-Oil has launched a new patient resource for primary healthcare professionals to use when helping customers self care for wounds. Created with support from dermatologist Justine Hextall, the patient booklet was developed following research that suggested 37 per cent of people living with scarring would like to receive verbal advice from a healthcare professional, 23 per cent would like to receive emotional support and a third would like to receive guidance on expectations of how their scar will change over time.

The resource sets out everything healthcare professionals need to know in order to help patients to understand how scars mature, what to expect and what they can do to help support the skin’s natural healing process and minimise scarring, as well as deal with the psychological impact of scarring.
