Wound Seminar: A Collaborative Approach to Wound Care

August 5, 2021, Seattle— Do you ever wish for feedback on tough cases? Do you ever want to ask an expert about a challenging clinical situation? Do you want updated evidence for wound care management that is applicable to your setting? For these reasons, UW Continuing Nursing Education is launching our new Wound Seminar.

Wound Seminar is a collaborative and interdisciplinary forum for healthcare professionals working with wound patients. Each seminar is designed to provide busy clinicians with the information they need to grow their practice, tools to tackle those real-life challenges, and inspiration to get through the day.

Each session will include:

• Evidence-based resources available 24/7.
• An online forum to connect with other wound care professionals to discuss clinical challenges and share successes.
• Live interactive webinars to learn from experts, pose questions, and discuss content with others.

Additionally, resources regarding professional development in the wound care sector will be incorporated and there will be an opportunity to present your professional projects and activities for peer feedback.
