FAQs
Your treatment can be delivered in a variety of ways. You may wish to attend in person for some or all of your appointments at one of our Centres in Sussex or the Midlands. Or alternatively, following your initial consultation, we can provide you with a treatment plan so you or your loved one can arrange for some/all of this care to be shared with your local care provider.
Any wound that isn't properly assessed, cleaned and covered can allow bacteria, viruses or fungi to enter through the opening in the skin, leading to infection which can cause the person to become very unwell.
“I must express my deepest gratitude to all of you at pioneer who cared for me with such kindness and professionalism for many weeks following a wound to my leg. From the initial consultation through to my last appointment I could not have wished for anything better. The consideration and empathy you showed whilst dealing with so many different patients and medical conditions was simply outstanding. The booking system at pioneer is superbly organised. It has been a pleasure and privilege to know you all.”
