Tissue Viability service

Description

The Tissue Viability service is made up of a team of specialist nurses supported by associate nurses. We are a community-based service that covers Bradford, Airedale/Wharfedale, Craven, Settle and Bentham and are here to support all health care professionals, patients, carers and family who require tissue viability support, advice and/or treatment. We also offer bespoke support and training to clinicians which allows our specialist nurses and associate nurses to work in a specific locality, strengthening communication between services.

Please see the tabs at the bottom of this page for a range of useful advice on pressure ulcers. Healthcare professionals can also access our tissue viability wound formulary here.
