The documentation of treatment modalities and wound care practices is, to modern eyes, an integral part of the delivery and ​continuation of medical care – the importance of which is scarcely given a second thought. The wealth and accessibility of published evidence is staggering, and the majority of the various compendia of wound care text books remain highly relevant and oft-consulted. Education is rightly put on a pedestal, and the popularity of documents such as the Wounds UK Made Easy series are testament to the growing thirst for knowledge and best practice guidelines within the wound care community.
