EDITORIAL BOARD
›
It is
recognised
that
healthcare
assistants
have an
important
role to
play in the
delivery of
wound care,
particularly in
the primary
care setting.
It is hoped that articles published
in this journal will enhance the care
they give through the provision of
appropriate education and support.
Menna Lloyd-Jones
Wound Care
Today
is
aimed at a
wide range of
practitioners
and we are
confident
that you
will find the
articles both
interesting
and
reflective of
contemporary evidence-based
practice. Our aim is to provide you
with the knowledge you require
to deliver high quality care for
individuals with, or at risk of, a
breakdown in the integrity of
their skin.
Louise Toner
The Wound
Care Alliance
UK are
confident
that readers
will find the
Wound Care
Today
journal
a valuable
resource for
clinicians
involved
in wound
care. The articles are written by
experienced authors, providing up-
to-date information that reflects and
debates current changes within
care delivery.
Michelle Greenwood
An important
part of any
specialist
nurses’ role
is to share
knowledge
and skills.
Educating
and
empowering
clinicians to
effectively
assess
and treat patients with a wound
ensures positive clinical outcomes
and continuity in care. This new
journal aims to reach all healthcare
professionals caring for patients with
wounds and inform clinical practice.
Lorraine Grothier
It is an
exciting
time seeing
the
Wound
Care Today
journal being
launched.
This journal
provides
wound care
knowledge
from
evidence-
based practice faced in daily
nursing. I hope the journal will
enable clinicians to share and
enrich practical knowledge in caring
for individuals with wounds and
improve patient outcomes.
Julie Evans
Wound care
and tissue
viability
can be
challenging.
As a member
of the
editorial
board, I am
committed
to help
produce
a journal
which is
researched-based, relevant, clinically
useful and educational and, in
addition, very readable for those
looking for support.
