Through this 100% online Postgraduate diploma, you will recognize early signs of skin lesion complications, allowing for faster interventions” 

A report published by the World Health Organization estimates that approximately 15% of hospitalized patients and 70% of users develop Pressure Ulcers at some point during their stay. These injuries not only prolong hospitalization and increase health care costs, but can also lead to serious complications such as systemic infections and functional impairment. Therefore, effective management of these conditions requires a comprehensive approach, including systematic risk assessment, robust preventive strategies and evidence-based treatments. 

In this context, TECH implements a pioneering Postgraduate diploma in Dependency-Related Skin Injuries. The academic itinerary will delve into the evaluation of Skin Wounds, which will allow professionals to correctly diagnose the lesions presented by patients and determine the most appropriate treatments immediately. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the most advanced therapies for wound care, among which Negative Pressure Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen or Laser Therapy stand out. On the other hand, the didactic materials will delve into the cleaning of skin lesions associated with Dependency. In this way, graduates will eliminate pathogenic microorganisms and reduce the risk of wound infection.
