Title

Collaboration not silos: How everyone’s contribution makes a difference to wound care

Who is our stream suitable for?

We welcome attendance from any health care professional working directly or indirectly in wound prevention and management who may want a more advanced level of knowledge. This includes Tissue Viability nurses, community and hospital-based nurses, Allied health professionals, podiatrists, specialist nurses such as vascular, burns or paediatric nurses, doctors, academics, and educators.

Stream content

The stream will deliver independent, evidence-based presentations based on the current research and underpinning specific wound related conditions. The plenary sessions will be delivered by highly respected, experienced speakers who are experts in their field. The programme reflects the importance of collaboration across the healthcare system when caring for people who are at risk of, or who are living with, wounds. By working together, we can break down boundaries, ensuring that everyone’s contribution counts. We will be delighted to see you on the day.
