Comprehensive wound care in Jamaica

At Jamaica Wound Care, we care for people with wounds of many different causes and levels of complexity. Our aim is to support healing, protect function and reduce the risk of further breakdown.

A wound may be affected by poor circulation, diabetes, pressure, infection, swelling, nutrition or other medical conditions. Understanding these factors helps us choose appropriate treatment and recognise when additional specialist care is needed.

Our clinical team

Our service is led by vascular surgeons Dr. Bart Muhs and Dr. Hilary Brown, working closely with certified wound care nurses Dian Coley, Althea Royal and Carmelia Blake. Carmelia is our Nursing Supervisor and Clinical Lead in Wound Care.

Our nurses provide the continuity needed for regular dressing changes, wound monitoring and patient education. Medical review is arranged when a wound deteriorates, is not progressing as expected or requires further investigation.

We have access to Dr. Jonathan Key, a podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon, to support the care of patients with diabetic foot problems, complex foot wounds and conditions affecting pressure distribution or mobility.

An individual treatment plan

We begin with an assessment of the wound, your health and any previous treatment. We explain our findings, discuss suitable options and agree on a plan for ongoing care.

Your plan may include regular nursing appointments, vascular investigations, specialist treatment and practical guidance for care between visits. We review the plan as the wound changes.

Coordinated care

Where necessary, we coordinate with your existing healthcare providers and other specialists, including general and plastic surgeons, dermatologists, infectious disease specialists, diabetes teams, physiotherapists, lymphedema practitioners and nutrition professionals.

We can also liaise with home-care and community nursing teams to help maintain continuity of treatment.
