Join us at the Inaugural Wounds Australia Conference

The inaugural Wounds Australia Conference will be held from 9-12 November 2016 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The 2016 theme, ‘State of Play’, will not only acknowledge the major achievements impacting clinical practice in wound management, but will explore the state of play in current wound management, research and clinical application. Delegates will see a strong focus on collaboration between disciplines, the translation of research into clinical practice and fantastic networking opportunities.
