| Welcome/Plenary One
Emerging Evidence & Innovation Plenary One will demonstrate how the field of science is contributing to clinical practice and improved patient outcomes. The plenary will introduce delegates to novel approaches to skin integrity and wound healing from the bench, as well as emerging products, therapeutics, devices, and models of care.
How can science advance clinical practice?

| Plenary Two
Evidence: Paradigms, Guidelines, & Controversies Plenary Two will explore emerging paradigms in wound management. Clinical practice guidelines and standards in relation to pressure injuries, atypical wounds, managing wound exudate, antimicrobial stewardship, and clinical decision making will be profiled for their key recommendations and controversaries. The translation of this evidence into your clinical practice will be discussed.

Holistic Practice
This plenary will consider the provision of effective holistic care in wound management. This plenary has something for clinicians working in all settings with all wounds types. This session will support you to refine your provision of person-centred care by focusing on mental health and wellness, nutrition, self-treatment, and the cultural needs of those with wounds.
