Those planning to provide LRS wound care services can enhance their experience and optimise patient and wound outcomes by learning as much as possible in advance about patient and wound challenges they will face, the environment and policies of practice and safe, effective interventions for wound care likely to be available. This work identifies resources to inform and equip wound care professionals for successful practice to make a sustainable difference to patients with wounds in LRS. Wound care practice pearls about how to prepare and how to improve outcomes with limited resources are summarised from The World Health Organization paradigm for practice innovation in LRS. The Wound Healing and Management (WHAM) node of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) collaborating with the Western Australia Centre for Evidence-Informed Health Care Practice offers Evidence Summaries for safe, effective interventions such as hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, banana leaves or boiled potato peels that can be a vital resource for anyone considering practice in an LRS. These are supplemented with an interim summary of randomised controlled evidence supporting aloe vera and honey.</p>
