Working as a tissue viability nurse in offender health

Abstract
This article outlines my journey from tissue viability specialist nurse in the community to tissue viability specialist nurse in offender health and the challenges I have encountered along the way. Since coming into this post, I have concentrated on pressure ulcer risk assessment, leg ulcer management, documentation and staff training. The patients I have been involved with have a variety of wounds that can be quite complex in nature. Intravenous drug use is an ongoing problem and, as a consequence, some of our patients have complicated leg ulcers. Although the service is still developing, progress has been made and we are now looking to expand the team. References
