Abstract

For many years there has been a drive to characterise what student nurses need to know about skin integrity and wounds (Holloway et al, 2018). However, the complexity of curriculum design has made this challenging, in part because the ‘Future Nurse’ (Nursing and Midwifery Council [NMC] 2018) needs to know so much! So, is right to push the agenda for one speciality at the potential detriment of others? Equally there is a valid argument that maintenance of skin integrity could help to reduce the risk of other conditions, for example pressure ulcers (PU), moisture associated skin damage (MASD) and skin tears. While progress seems to have been slow in terms of pushing the skin and wound agenda in pre-registration education, in my opinion we are making headway.
