Session outline
Wounds can rapidly transition to stalled, hard-to-heal wounds (HTHW). This delayed healing can lead to increased costs, healthcare utilisation and suffering. To encourage early intervention, a panel of wound care experts developed and recently published actionable evidence-based recommendations. These recommendations are applicable to all health care professionals, regardless of discipline, or qualification and training in the speciality of wound care. Join this session to hear from experts who will share their expertise on managing HTHWs.
