S
ometimes in the merry-go-round of conferences, symposia,
journals and wound product launches, it can be easy to forget
who actually treats the patients. That’s why, we wanted to
launch a different kind of wound care journal — a journal that looks
at wound care from the perspective of the
clinician, not the editor; a journal that considers
the best way to treat a wound, not always the
most cost-effective way; a journal that debates
the issues that matter to you.
Our first issue covers the wound care
bases with articles that take a practical look at
wound assessment, pressure ulcers, leg ulcers,
compression therapy, exudate management,
infection and skin tears, offering a complete toolkit for any clinician
who has to deal with wounds on a day-to-day basis. We have also
produced a series of fact-based posters, which tell you how to treat
different wound types at a glance.
Here at
Wound Care Today
we believe that although dressings and
innovative products are vital, what patients really need is a workforce
of well-educated clinicians who understand how to put a patient on
the path to a healed wound. That’s why we’ve produced a journal
packed full of practice-based articles written by expert clinicians,
as well as seeking out opinion pieces from people working on the
ground today. We launched this journal because dressings alone don’t
heal wounds — clinicians are vital too. And this journal is for you.
