09:00-12:00 Conference - morning session (3 CPD hours)

2020 Vision – Contemporary Principles Of Wound Care Practice

This opening address and session will focus on past, present and future directions in skin integrity, wound prevention and management. Fundamental principals of individualised therapeutics, inclusive of a comprehensive and systematic approach, and best available evidence will be explored. Quality service delivery by knowledgeable, capable and caring healthcare professionals along with empowered person inclusive teams will be overviewed.

Heal-ability, current knowledge regarding transition to chronicity, and interventions to prevent and address the ‘roadblocks’ will be explored. Principles of practice that optimise the person's response to injury, manages the region, wound (including non-viable tissue, local infection and biofilm) and skin will be examined.

13:00-15:00 Conference - afternoon session (2 CPD hours)


Common Acute Wounds: What’s The Latest?

continued over..

Traumatic or surgical acute partial or full thickness wounds are common wounds managed in acute, sub-acute, primary, community and residential aged-care settings. This session will explore a wide range of injuries including minor burns, donor sites, blisters (friction injury), skin tears, pressure injury and incontinence-associated dermatitis. Contemporary understanding of risk populations, preventative strategies (if applicable), classification and management interventions will be examined. Expected clinical outcomes relating to healing timelines will be overviewed along with common complications and care challenges.

Day 3 - Thursday, 5th December 2019

Assessment & Evaluation: Screening, Measuring And Monitoring For Everyday Practice

In this session, a wide variety of screening, measurement tools and devices will be examined that complement clinical bedside assessment. Nutritional and general risk assessment, along with recording of wound clinometrics and characteristics, utilise validated screening and risk assessment tools (RATs), traditional linear measurement, digital photography and new advancing technologies.

Baseline data and early identification of risk, contribute to timely and appropriate referral for comprehensive assessment, ordering of investigations (bloods, wound fluid and tissue culture/histology) by the interdisciplinary team, and ultimately a definitive diagnosis.

Concepts of practice including ‘intention to treat’ will be discussed relating to expected clinical outcomes (prevention, healing or symptom control) – considering clinical scenarios when further investigations are / are not indicated.


Wound-Related Pain: Making It Matter

In this session, the most common reported symptom experienced by the wounded – pain, located in, around or away from the wound will be explored. We will examine our current understanding of nociceptive and neuropathic pain types, pain descriptors, severity, timing, frequency, triggers and relievers. Current understanding of the human and clinical impact of chronic pain will be reviewed. Pain assessment skills, diagnosis, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions and evaluation of outcomes will be discussed. We as healthcare professionals play an essential role in wound related pain (WRP) assessment & management, easing the suffering and improving the lived experiences for those in our care. "Pain is inevitable…. suffering is optional" (Buddhist Proverb)

Day 8 - Tuesday, 10th December 2019


Leg & Foot Ulceration: Below the Knee is DifferentLower limb wounds, whether traumatic, elective or idiopathic are uniquely influenced by the 3 vascular systems – arterial supply, venous return and lymphatic functionality along with chronic disease (ie diabetes, autoimmune, inflammatory) and atypical conditions including malignancy and medication induced pathologies.

Understanding the specific risk of wounds located below the knee requires focused assessment including detailed history, clinical examination and related investigations to identify early signs and symptoms of contributing co-morbidities. Delayed healing – transition to chronicity is a common risk, and identification of lower limb ulcer pathology and ‘type’ will guide the most appropriate interventions and management plans.

Clinical practice guidelines provide a roadmap for clinicians from a variety of care settings to work with interdisciplinary team to consider further investigations and referral, confirm diagnosis and guide specific management interventions. This session will overview common and atypical pathology of lower limb, overview assessment responsibilities of the clinician and team and identify evidence-based intervention strategies – it takes a village.


Lower Limb Oedema: Addressing A ‘Not So Hidden’ Foe

Oedema located in the lower limb can be caused by a wide variety of co-morbidities and chronic diseases. This session will overview oedema aetiology, and identify the long-term impact of chronic oedema leading to secondary lymphoedema, a treatable but incurable chronic condition. The role of compression options (bandaging, hosiery and sequential intermittent pneumatic compression - SIPC) and exercise will be discussed and workshopped guided by current consensus and clinical practice guideline recommendations.

Day 9 - Wednesday, 11th December 2019


Learning From Case Studies: The Good, The Bad And The Unusual!

Continuing professional development specific to skin and wound management is required by all healthcare professionals who in their workplace, care for those at risk of, or live with acute or delayed healing wounds. Seeking to better understand and share positive, negative and unusual clinical scenarios is an important but underutilised learning opportunity. The inclusion of a consenting individual (or carers) voice and story ‘from their perspective’ can contribute to real life learning opportunities for individuals, teams and organisation.

Throughout this conference cruise event, case scenarios will be discussed and this session will ensure participants are armed with the knowledge, structure & resources to assist in preparing case studies for future workplace learning, publication or poster presentation opportunities.
