Recruitment and retention challenges in community nursing have exacerbated disparities in wound care outcomes, particularly among housebound patients. In response, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust Wound Healing Integrated and Community Care Services developed the Coventry community wound healing team (CWHT) in 2022 to improve healing outcomes and relieve pressure on district nursing services. This paper outlines the development, structure and outcomes of the Coventry CWHT, which delivers specialist wound care in patients’ homes through a skill-mixed team led by a wound healing clinical nurse specialist (CNS). Findings indicate significant benefits in terms of patient outcomes, workforce effciency and staff wellbeing. The model presents a scalable solution to current challenges in community wound care delivery.
