Tal Ellis's Company Details
Every day, nearly half a million Australians suffer from a chronic wound with the cost of managing this close to $3billion annually. Despite this, wounds remain a silent epidemic. Wounds can affect people at any stage of life, however the most concerning are wounds that don't heal, and go on to ulcerate, such as venous leg ulcers. However, these wounds are completely treatable with the right care from a healthcare professional who is up to date with evidence based, best practice treatment.Wounds Australia is the peak body for wound prevention and management in Australia through advocacy, education and research. Wounds Australia was established in 2015 following the nationalisation of the Australian Wound Management Association national and state and territory associations.Wounds Australia members are drawn from the disciplines of nursing, medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, industry and the sciences. Wounds Australia publishes Standards and Guidelines and a peer-reviewed journal to promote best practice in wound prevention and management. It provides education resources and delivers educational activities for health professionals. Wounds Australia also provides educational resources and activities, scholarships and grants for members and runs the annual Wound Awareness Week. Wounds Australia is endorsed as a Health Promotion Charity and holds Deductible Gift Recipient Status.
