It covers the following main topics: wound care curriculum, competence areas in wound care, learning goals and content and teaching methods. This book also includes information about post-graduate wound care education, covers aspects of competence and its assessment in the wound care context, as well as multi-professional education and future trends in the field of wound care education and its research. This book gives practical and evidence-based information and tools for its primary readers, wound care educators, to help them implement the newest knowledge into teaching. Wound care education is often fragmented and unstructured, and with the help of this book, educators and teachers can plan and realise their teaching and competence assessment based on the most actual knowledge and evidence to meet the competence requirements of graduating registered nurses. Furthermore, the book can also help educators unify wound care education within Europe as this book is based on international literature. This book can also help wound care researchers by providing and summarising the latest evidence on this topic in one source; help the researchers identify the possible knowledge gaps and needs for future research and implementation in this area; help clinicians and advanced nurse practitioners to develop and implement wound care education in working life to increase the wound care competence of registered nurses.
