This article is based on a Made Easy workshop held at the Wounds UK annual conference in Harrogate, UK, on 14th November 2016. The symposium consisted of presentations by two speakers: Kimberley Socrates (Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist, Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust) providing practical information and guidance on debridement as part of wound bed preparation in practice; and Monica Smith (Clinical Trainer, medi UK) providing information on simplifying treatment of leg ulcers from a compression point of view.
