Tissue Viability Service

The Tissue Viability Nurses provide a service to patients with wounds and those at risk of tissue breakdown.

The service is available from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday excluding Bank holidays.

There are Nurse-Led Tissue Viability Clinics in various centres throughout Primary Care in the North Down and Ards area. Referrals are accepted from Medical Staff, Nurses, Allied Health Professionals and from patients and carers.

Only patients who live in the North Down and Ards area can be seen in the Primary Care Clinics. Patients residing in East Belfast and requiring care in the community should be referred to the appropriate source within that Trust.

All inpatients in the Ulster Hospital and the Community Hospitals regardless of where they live will be seen.
