EEAST team nominated for prestigious award

The industry-leading work EEAST has put into assessing and managing patients with skin tears over the course of the last 3 years has been recognised by the prestigious Journal of Wound Care, after being shortlisted for an award at its annual ceremony in London.

While missing out on first place for the award of 'Safe and Effective Wound Care in a Non-specialist Setting', EEAST picked up second place and the silver award.

Tim Hickey, EEAST Clinical Lead for Primary and Urgent Care said 'We're absolutely thrilled to have been nominated for this award which reflects the huge efforts by the EEAST project team and frontline staff of all clinical grades to make the introduction of the Trust-wide skin tear management pathway and Biatain Silicone dressings a success'.

Frontline staff yet to undertake their Biatain Silicone Skin Tear Assessment and Management training can do so any time via Evolve, or by approaching a local Specialist or Advanced Paramedic in Urgent Care.

Congratulations Tim, Jason and the rest of the team!
