Luxmi Dhoonmoon, CNWL’s Tissue Viability Nurse Consultant (TVN) and Jacqui Fletcher, Independent Nurse Consultant conducted an international survey with healthcare professionals, to learn more about how skin tones are assessed and where more education is needed.

The results from the survey were published in an article for the Wounds International online journal.
