Overview

The central digital wound hub provides remote monitoring of surgical wounds for people after they leave the hospital.

We help you manage your wound at home and reduce the risk of infection. Our service is for people who have had specific types of surgery across all our hospitals.

The central digital wound hub service is funded by the Guy's & St Thomas' Charity.

How to look after your wound

You can get a surgical wound infection after surgery, but this is not common. Read our information about surgical wounds and preventing infections to help you manage your wound after leaving hospital. This page also includes information about signs of a wound infection and when to get help.

Research

We use the information you tell us about about your wounds to find out how many people have wound infections after surgery. This helps us to make changes to the way we do things.
