The video link was good working in a cancer hospice some of the suggestions for difficult wound dressings we were already aware of and using in practice. However good ideas and presentation. I would have liked to know you feel about the honey based and silver dressings? We have tried these each of these dressings on different patients who have fungating breast wounds, both times we found the dressings made matters worse and had to discontinue use, due to deteration in wound and hightened pain. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks Gordon

Hi Yasmin
Many thanks for the feedback. You can access a free course on this website ('Wound Management in Cancer and Palliative Care'), written by Wayne Naylor, which will provide you with further details about the wounds. The course can be found here:

What an excellent recording & slide show. I'm a Cancer Care Nurse in Brisbane Australia and it has been difficult tom access information to pass on to my colleages regarding oncological wound care..... Any further would be gratefully appreciated.. If you have anything on caring for radiation sites that would be great..
Thanks Again
