Great support network that helped me gain good insight into my wound healing with support and advice to heal my wound with minimal scaring
The mywound programme has helped and given me details on how to look after my wound and scar. The programme was step by step informing on how to recover and change my lifestyle to make a good recovery and give me confidence to move ahead.
Knowledge is power and understanding helps to speed healing.
Well addressed and received this programme, it helps you all the way through from start to finish with easy to read instructions to follow. I will recommend it to my friends and family. It taught me a fair few things that I did not know.

It was very interesting to know the healing porocess and what I can do to get the best outcome, it was also important to boost my confidence and feel less shy and less scared to ask for help and for support.
Could be very helpful for patients with wounds that refuse to close.
Brilliant project helping others with healing of wounds and scars. My scar is numb but hurts in the cold and heat. There was lots of great tips in keeping your scar supple and to enable healing. Really good support and if you have any questions they won't hesitate to help you.
