About the Webinar

Join us for a practical, clinically focused 90-minute session with leading plastic surgeon Dr Dan Kennedy. Designed specifically for rural and remote GPs, this webinar provides a comprehensive update on two challenging and common presentations in general practice: infected wounds and venous ulcers.

What You’ll Learn

Managing infected wounds often raises complex clinical questions:

  • Should necrotic tissue be debrided, and when?

  • When are antibiotics indicated?

  • Should the wound be washed or kept dry?

  • Is wound swabbing helpful—and when?

  • Which dressings should be used, and for how long?

Dr Kennedy will address these practical questions and more, including live audience questions during the session.

You will also gain an evidence-informed, resource-sensitive approach to venous ulcer management—a condition that can place a significant burden on general practice workload and costs.

Who Should Attend

This session is exclusive to Tele-Derm members and is ideal for GPs seeking practical, immediate strategies to enhance confidence and effectiveness in wound care and ulcer management.

If you are not yet a Tele-Derm member, consider joining today to access this webinar and our free, high-quality case submission and specialist advice service.
