Synopsis
Join us for an engaging breakfast session exploring the clinical and biomechanical factors that influence dressing selection in modern wound care. As clinicians face increasing patient complexity, escalating workloads and decision fatigue, how can we make more confident and consistent treatment choices?
Professor Michelle Barakat-Johnson will discuss the realities of wound management and the challenges clinicians face in navigating complex care decisions. Professor Amit Gefen will share the latest science behind pressure injury prevention, tissue deformation and biomechanical protection, highlighting why dressing design matters. Melissa Freeman will share clinical examples demonstrating the application of ALLEVYN Complete Care in real-world wound care.
Bridging clinical practice, biomechanics and evidence, this session will provide actionable insights to support improved patient outcomes and more informed wound care decision-making.
