This document provides an overview of the main approaches to the organisation of
wound care within homecare settings across Europe with case exemplars from
England, Germany and the Nordic Countries. By identifying possible barriers to
best practice wound care in home care settings and uncovering the preconditions
needed to provide safe and high quality care for wound patients and support for
their families, the authors provide a list of minimum recommendations for the
treatment of patients with wounds in their own homes.
