When would you need referring?

You may need the support of our service if you:

• have had a non-healing wound for more than six weeks
• are concerned that your wound is deteriorating rapidly despite treatment
• have had surgery or a sudden episode of bad health which means you are less mobile, at risk of pressure damage and may require pressure relieving equipment
• notice damage to skin caused by prolonged periods of sitting or lying down known as pressure damage, for example, sore/painful, red or black areas of skin over vulnerable areas such as bony prominences
• have swelling to your legs that has been present for 3 months or more

Please contact your primary health professional, such as your GP or nurse, to discuss if referral to our service might be appropriate.

We accept referrals for any patient registered with an Oxfordshire GP.
