Patient experiences

In this video you’ll hear about the lived experience of skin tears from Frank, Claire and Maureen. Their stories remind us of the impact of skin tears and the importance of person-centred care. We also hear from Richard whose mother experienced a skin tear in a long-term care facility. Richard talks about the need for communication, advocacy and awareness.
