This article is based on a Made Easy workshop held at the Wounds UK annual conference in Harrogate, UK, on 10 November 2015. The aim of the workshop was to provide practical guidance to dealing with exudate, with an introduction to the issue as a whole, followed by a demonstration, in which delegates had the opportunity to gain practical experience using Sorbion Sachet S dressings (BSN medical) to assist with exudate management. Voting keypads were used, to provide a picture of delegates’ views and experience regarding exudate management in clinical practice.
