Chronic wounds are rarely just a skin problem — they are the result of multiple interacting factors in the patient's body. Treating the wound alone without addressing causes is like fixing a roof while the foundation is cracked.
Multidisciplinary Team Members:
- Wound care specialist (Tissue Viability Nurse/Specialist): Assesses wound, selects dressings, monitors healing — the central role.
- Vascular surgeon: Assesses blood supply and decides if intervention is needed to restore blood flow.
- Diabetologist/Internist: Controls diabetes, chronic conditions, and medications.
- Dietitian: Assesses nutritional status and designs a diet plan supporting healing.
- Orthotist: For diabetic foot patients — special shoes distributing pressure.
- Psychologist: Chronic wounds cause depression and isolation — psychological support is part of treatment.
- Physiotherapist: Exercises to improve mobility and circulation.
At BEIT TARIQ Center, we coordinate with a team of specialists ensuring all contributing factors are addressed, not just the wound.
