Workshop: Sunday 18 March 2012

The Sunday Workshop aims to provide delegates with an additional learning and networking opportunity facilitated by both national and international experts in their field, and is suitable for novice through to expert Health Care Professionals (HCPs) involved in management of those living with acute and chronic wounds.

The planned sessions highlight the complexity of wound management as a clinical speciality, focus on person important outcomes, and emphasise the integral role of the interdisciplinary team.

Presentations and workshops delivered by both international and national leaders will provide unique opportunities for attendees to share, discuss, question and challenge their knowledge and practice.
The Sunday Workshop will be held on the 18 March 2012 (the day prior to the conference) from 0800 – 1630. The Workshop Registration fee (see below) includes catered lunch, morning and afternoon tea.

Though common themes link this event to the main conference program; it is a separate event designed to complement and enhance participant experiences without duplication of content.
