Areas of experience
Scope of practice
Aissar is a Registered Nurse and certified wound specialist, not a physician. He provides nursing assessment, wound care and education, while diagnosis, prescribing and surgical decisions remain the physician’s responsibility within the multidisciplinary team.
A multidisciplinary team
A complex wound is never treated by one specialty alone. Care is coordinated with a multidisciplinary team according to each case, because healing depends on treating the cause: circulation, infection, pressure, nutrition and the need for surgery.
