About this deal
Dykes P, Goodwin R, Rosslee V (2012) Pilot Study into the Efficacy of Film Barrier Skin Care Products. Wounds UK 8(4): 1-4. In March 2023 we organised a link nurse study focused around the theme Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD). As part of this day Kerry (Medicareplus Rep) came to present sessions on MASD, Medical-Adhesive Related Skin Injury (MARSI) and barrier products. Kerry tried to apply her presentations to our pediatric population, with case studies and imagery, which can be difficult.
Medi Derma-S Cream and Film - Instructions for use guide
Does not impede the adhesion of dressings, pouches or adhesive devices and prevents and reduces trauma and related pain (2) Angela was great – her delivery was tailored to the staff in the room (e.g. area of work, job role and discussed the products on our formulary). The content was appropriate and very useful and all staff commented on how it will benefit them in practice – they have a better awareness of which products to use when and were already discussing plans on how to relay this information to their colleagues. I feel patient care will definitely improve as a result of staff receiving this training.Long Lasting Protection – resilient, hydrophobic protective barrier from moisture associated skin damage Provides protection around the area where the dressing, pouch or adhesive device is to be applied by forming a transparent coating Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream moisturises and protects damaged and intact skin by forming a protective waterproof barrier, preventing irritation from bodily fluids, adhesive products and friction.

All staff commented on how great it was to have other speakers during the day and also how useful the MASD and barrier products sessions were. They highlighted that they had never had this teaching previously and how much it made sense. It was delivered in a down-to-earth, easy-to-understand format with practical demonstrations.

Medicareplus International held sessions for Nursing staff and for Health Care Assistance on Medi Derma-S Barrier cream and treatment for MASD. The role of applying barrier cream was taken away from HCAS however under new MFT guidance this is due to be reinstated. The face-to-face tuition and support provided for these products has meant that HCAS are now deemed equipped to use these creams in practice which has a huge and positive impact on the CEC service and all patients and staff involved. The support and training Kerry has given to Barnsley over the past 12 months have allowed better formulary compliance and improved care for patients in all settings. I really enjoy working with Kerry, we have organized several amazing events in an area highlighted for improvement. Always an excellent response and Kerry’s organisational and motivational skills are an inspiration. If you have missed a particular area, please wait until the initial application has dried, then reapply as required.
