Abstract
The role of the healthcare assistant (HCA) and assistant practitioner (AP) in wound care is controversial. In some trusts HCAs and APs only care for wounds under the direct supervision of a registered nurse and in other areas they alternate dressing changes with the registered nurse. However, no matter how much or how little involvement the HCA or AP has in wound care, it is important to understand the normal process of wound healing and in particular the importance of inflammation. Without this understanding, the HCA or AP could not identify and report back any suspected abnormality.
