    Hi there, just wanting to get information on wound care management for RT patients please..what are other units using in terms of dressings/creams etc...

    anything would be helpful

    cheers

  2. I recently purchased a book called "Principles of Skin Care and the Oncology Patient", published in 2010. ISBN 978-1-890504-88-5
    After I had a read, I relised that our department pretty much follows a lot of what this says, re radiation patients.
    Although, you did not mention whether you work in a cooler or more tropical climate, because this can alter the expected skin reactions.
