Abstract
Debridement is an essential component of wound care. However, autolysis remains a frequently used method of debridement, despite recent recommendations from the European Wound Management Association and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Community nurses are recognised as front-line clinicians participating in debridement interventions. It is essential that community nurses are able to deliver the most appropriate debridement method regardless of their current skill set. This will require community nurses to revisit the evidence base for debridement, reflect on their current methods of debridement and expand their skill set when required. Guidance exists to ensure community nurses are able to offer appropriate and safe debridement to clients with non-viable tissue which is delaying the wound healing process.
