Bookings are open for an intensive, one-day clinical workshop in February offering health professionals a rare opportunity to develop advanced wound management skills under the guidance of internationally recognised experts.

Delivered by Monash University and supported by Wounds Australia, the Advanced Debridement, Closure and Biopsy Workshop will take place in Melbourne on Friday 19 February 2027.

This specialised workshop combines evidence-informed theory with supervised, hands-on training in advanced debridement, wound closure and biopsy procedures and is designed for health professionals seeking to extend their clinical expertise.

Participants will explore a comprehensive range of contemporary techniques, including conservative sharp debridement, ultrasonic and hydrosurgical debridement, incision and drainage, maggot therapy, wound biopsy and suturing.

The intensive program will equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills to assess wound and patient factors, select appropriate debridement techniques and perform procedures safely and effectively within their professional scope of practice.

A major highlight is the calibre of the expert faculty, bringing together internationally recognised wound care specialists and experienced clinicians.

The distinguished presenters include Professor Sebastian Probst, Professor of Tissue Viability and Wound Care at the Geneva School of Health Sciences and University Hospital of Geneva, and Dr Joy Yee, consultant dermatologist at The Alfred Hospital and The Skin Health Institute.

They will be joined by Wounds Australia members Dr Peta Tehan, Dr Ben Bullen and Ms Hermione Shea of Monash University, offering participants access to specialised knowledge and practical clinical expertise.
