It is
recognised
that
healthcare
assistants
have an
important
role to
play in the
delivery of
wound care,
particularly in
the primary
care setting.
The 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
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.
Wound Care
Today
aims to reach all healthcare
professionals caring for patients with
wounds and inform clinical practice.
Lorraine Grothier
Welcome
to the 2015
edition
of
Wound
Care Today
.
The year
has started
on an
encouraging
note for the
Wound Care
Alliance UK,
with positive
feedback
about our
achievements last year. The new
journal was very well received
and as always, we welcome
your comments.
Jackie Stephen-Haynes
It is an
exciting time
at the
Wound
Care Today
journal. This
journal seeks
to provide
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.
