Educator

Fran Worboys RGN BSc (Hons) DipN DipHS, Consultant Clinical Nurse Specialist in Tissue Viability

Fran Worboys, RGN BSc (Hons) DipN DipHS, Consultant Clinical Nurse Specialist in Tissue Viability
Fran has worked within the specialism of wound care as a specialist nurse for 25 years, primarily within a community context. As part of the East London Wound Healing Centre, specific knowledge and expertise was gained in managing complex and hard to heal wounds with an increasing emphasis upon the lower limb.

This led to the development of the Accelerate strapping technique, an advanced compression skill.  Fran was part of the team that spun out of the NHS in 2011 to form Accelerate CIC, an award-winning social enterprise dedicated to changing lives for people with wounds and lymphoedema. Within Accelerate she held the position of Clinical Director during a time of organisational growth and innovative practice. She has presented at conferences, written and co-authored numerous articles and contributed to best practice guidance.

Fran continues to work with Accelerate, primarily as an educator to continue sharing knowledge, expertise, and her passion for lower limb management. She is an advocate of partnership working, both with patients and practitioners to challenge current practice, make a difference and explore how care can be delivered in new and innovative ways.
