Appendix 4 offers details of products that are used for wound management and garments that require a prescription. Best practice and clinical recommendations should be consulted to ensure the most appropriate item is chosen. Often in acute or inpatient settings, the clinical environment has a stock of regularly used dressings or bandages or other medicinal devices, such as surgical adhesive tapes. These remain individual prescribed patient items and should be considered as such on discharge or transfer of care. It is essential that the supply of wound care products, and associated treatment information, should be prepared and documented as per any other medication or medical product or device. This information is paramount for community care providers, practice nurses and general practitioners in order to maintain high‐quality care standards.
