Outline Outline

The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Practice specialisation is available to study as a graduate certificate and as part of the Master of Advanced Practice.

• advanced knowledge of assessment, management and healing
• clinical decision-making, evidence-informed specialty practice, patient advocacy and holistic specialty practice.
