ULCER - Category III
About this wound
A deep, crater-like ulcer at the heel with exposed tissue layers, darkened wound bed, and inflamed surrounding skin. This effect trains responders to recognise pressure injury progression and the urgency of wound care the depth and discolouration signal significant tissue damage that demands immediate assessment and specialist referral.
Scenario ideas
- Community nurse visiting a housebound patient with poor mobility: responder must spot signs of neglected wound care, assess infection risk, and arrange hospital referral within a realistic home setting.
- Paramedic call to a care home where staff have not documented a resident's deteriorating heel ulcer: responder practises escalation, safeguarding questioning, and communicating wound severity to receiving hospital.
