Assessment and Management of Minor Injuries and Post-Surgical Healing
Timely and appropriate wound care can support healing, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of complications. Medical practitioners consulting from Langpark Health offer assessment and management of a wide range of minor wounds, including cuts, abrasions, surgical sites, ulcers, and slow-healing injuries. Wound care clinics are available where practice nurses skilled in wound assessment and management provide ongoing wound care, advice and dressings.
Whether caused by a recent injury or related to an ongoing medical condition, proper wound care can play an important role in recovery and comfort.
Wound Care May Include
Cleaning and dressing of acute or chronic wounds
Post-surgical wound reviews
Removal or replacement of sutures or staples
Infection checks and treatment plans
Management of pressure sores or diabetic ulcers
Advice on wound hygiene and at-home care
Individualised Wound Support
Medical practitioners may also coordinate care with other health providers when needed, such as pathology for wound swabs or referrals to specialist services. Patients with conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, or compromised immunity may be at increased risk of delayed healing and benefit from more frequent wound care appointments.
Promoting Healing and Preventing Complications
If you have a wound that is not healing as expected, showing signs of infection, or requiring dressing changes, you can book an appointment for a consultation. Medical practitioners consulting from Langpark Health will assess the wound, and the practice nurses will develop a care plan tailored to your needs.
Appointments are available and can be booked online or by contacting Langpark Health.
After Hours Service Phone 03 9789 5966 and a message will tell you how to contact the doctor on-call
