SUMMARY:The Third National Wound Care and Management Conference and Exhibition 2024
UID:1215
DESCRIPTION:Is wound care and management in the UK a forgotten burden on healthcare services?\n\nAccording to a 2018 UK wound care analysis, the annual NHS cost of wound management was £8.3 billion. This represents the third highest expense for the NHS, after cancer and diabetes. Approximately 67% of these expenses were dedicated to managing unhealed wounds, and more than 70% of these costs were attributed to visits from Nurses, Doctors, or Healthcare Assistants. Wound products accounted for just 6% of the overall expenditure. This indicates that improving wound care standards would positively impact patients and have a wider implication for healthcare staff, alleviating pressure and redirecting resources elsewhere.\n\nThe National Wound Care Strategy Programme (NWCSP) commissioned the development of the National Wound Care Workforce Framework for England. This comprehensive framework aims to improve healing rates, improve care experience, increase cost-effectiveness, and prevent incidence and recurrence.\n\nThe Institute of Government & Public Policy’s Third National Wound Care and Management Conference and Exhibition 2024 has been designed around key themes such as improving patients’ experience, reducing wound healing rates, and lessening the impact of wound care on NHS resources.\n\nJoin us for the Third National Wound Care and Management Conference and Exhibition 2024, which will explore the future of wound care in the UK, strategies for improving patient experience and recovery, and best practice examples of excellence in wound care prevention and management.\n\nThe Wound Care and Management Event 2024  explores the future of wound care in the UK and hear from leading practitioners from across the wound care profession to share best practices and excellence in wound care prevention and management. Contact one of our advisors now to avoid disappointment!\n\n
