Healthcare professionals from across the region came together in Toowoomba on Saturday 3 October for Better Together: Multidisciplinary Collaboration in Wound Prevention and Management.

Held at the Highfields Cultural Centre, 57 attendees from nursing, pharmacy, podiatry and other disciplines joined Senior Podiatrist Anna Corrigan, Senior Physiotherapist Lana Cassar, Senior Antimicrobial Stewardship Pharmacist Torren Powell, Pharmacist Elise Gill and Complex Wound Management CNC Monica Marshall for a day of practical wound care education.

The program explored high-risk foot wounds, lymphoedema, wound infection and antimicrobial stewardship, complemented by hands-on workshops in wound cleaning and debridement, compression therapy, offloading and footwear.

Wounds Australia Queensland Committee member and Logan Hospital Clinical Nurse Cathy Kindness said the diversity of attendees was a highlight.

"It was great to see such a broad range of clinicians attend, from community pharmacists and podiatrists to hospital and community nurses and undergraduate students," Ms Kindness said. "There was something for everyone, and attendees told us they had learnt something they could take back and add to their practice.

"It was especially rewarding to see nursing, pharmacy and podiatry students learning and networking as they prepare to begin their careers."
