Introduction
This educational course contains a video, an e-learning and a quiz to explore the difference between chronic and non-healing wounds, their underlying causes, and evidence-based approaches to assessment and treatment. It provides healthcare professionals with practical tools, such as the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool and the TIMERS Framework, to identify stalled healing early and optimise wound management according to current best practices.

- Differentiate between chronic and non-healing wounds based on healing stages and time frames.
- Identify key patient and wound-related factors that hinder healing.
