A specialist team at the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust has won an award for its work treating wounds and ensuring patients do not need more invasive procedures.
The tissue viability group at New Cross Hospital use a type of therapy to remove damaged, dead or infected tissue to allow healthy tissue to heal.
The approach is designed to prevent patients from needing further surgery.
They received a silver award for Innovation in Debridement at the Journey of Wound Care Awards, held at the Imperial War Museum in London.
Their work, alongside surgical colleagues, has also seen patients' limbs saved.
"Our dynamic approach has driven us to think outside the box and this award reflects the collective effort of the team committed to making a meaningful difference in wound care," said Usha Sharma, who leads the team.
"This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaboration that has been at the heart of our work."
