Benefits of Vohra’s Wound Care Certification Programs

By earning a Wound Care Certification with Vohra, you will become a wound care expert based on the needs of the clinical environment in which you treat patients. Wound Care is a highly sought-after competency for nurses practicing in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), and for home health nurses caring for patients in the home at bedside.

Nurses with a Wound Care Certification can both assist physicians and treat wounds directly, improving patient outcomes significantly. Not only do trained wound nurses help improve patient quality of life, they help nursing facilities and home health agencies minimize the risk of citations and infractions for pressure ulcers.

Patients under the care of a certified wound nurse rarely need to leave their regular place of treatment to visit wound care centers or hospitals, where such trips often overexert the patient and are expensive for the facility and/or payor.

By developing your wound care expertise, whether as a Certified Wound Nurse in a SNF, or with a Home Health Agency, wound training improves patient outcomes and quality of life, and minimizes the need for costly and often traumatic wound treatment in the long-term. For these reasons and countless others, nurses certified in wound care are a valuable asset to any patient care team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program certified?
Vohra’s Wound Care Certification is internationally accredited as a CPD program, compatible with the required Continuing Professional Development global standards and benchmarks.
What CPD stands for?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. Engaging in Continuing Professional Development ensures that both academic and practical qualifications do not become outdated or obsolete, allowing individuals to continually ‘up skill’ or ‘re-skill’ themselves, regardless of occupation, age, or educational level.
Where is this accreditation accepted?
Whilst based in the UK, the CPD Certification Service accreditation operates internationally and meets the CPD requirements and expectations for all professional bodies, regulators and membership organizations across the globe. This means that a professional attending an accredited CPD training activity outside of the UK can receive a CPD Certificate of Attendance, which can then be used towards both national and international CPD requirements.
How is CPD recorded?
An individual is responsible of keeping track of their annual Continuing Professional Development activities on a CPD record form and must ensure it is correct, up to date and meets the requirements of their professional body of association. The CPD undertaken is recorded by a CPD Certificate of Attendance, CPD Self-Assessment forms and personal CPD Record Cards. Once a CPD certified activity has been delivered, the attendee can update their CPD record sheet and attach the associated certificate.
What are the benefits of CPD?
CPD helps individuals to regularly focus on how they can become a more competent and effective professional. Training and learning increases confidence, overall capability, and compliments career aspirations.
Who requires CPD?
Most institutions provide their members with Continuing Professional Development requirements generally as a required annual number of hours. These CPD hours are sometimes converted to points, units or credits. The majority of institutions allow members to choose subjects of relevance to them as individuals, a minority also require their members to seek CPD on a range of core subjects.
More and more employers are taking a proactive and supporting role with the CPD required by their employees. Aside from industry associations, CPD’s importance within general enterprise is growing, as more employers see the benefits of more highly skilled, motivated and committed workforce.
