Scottish Wound Assessment and Action Guide (SWAAG)
Use this Tool well
Remember that this is a guide and if in doubt, you are strongly
encouraged to seek advice from an appropriate healthcare
professional such as a Tissue Viability Nurse, Dermatology Nurse or
Podiatrist. This guide should be used in conjunction with local
policy/guidelines. A wound chart should be completed for every
patient/client with a wound. An example of a wound chart is
available on this website.
The SWAAG can be used to aid your assessment of wounds and to
help you to consider various treatment options for managing a
wound.
