Innovation is the key

Wound Care Alliance UK (WCAUK) has recently recruited over 5000 members and, as Chair, I am immensely proud of the charity, the trustees and our achievements. I promised the trustees something sparkly to celebrate and will bring the bottles and a celebration cake along to the annual conference, which is being held at Gloucester Rugby Club on Wednesday 10 May 2023. For more details visit the website (https://www.wcauk.org).

Meanwhile, the Wounds UK conference in Harrogate beckons – one of the annual conferences that I and some of the WCAUK trustees attend. As with all conferences, there is a chance to update knowledge and to network.

Attending conferences presents opportunities and also challenges: time, work commitments, co-ordinating childcare and travel can all prevent us attending. Following feedback from WCAUK members, we are launching a series of webinars in conjunction with MA Healthcare (this journal's publishers). These will be held on Monday 30 January, Tuesday 31 January, Wednesday 1 February and Thursday 2 February 2023. Please see the WCAUK advert in this supplement.
