The EWMA Journal October 2017 is now online!

In this issue you can read about the EWMA 2018 Conference in Krakow, in addition to four scientific papers. One paper from Australia illustrates an innovative redesign and tailoring of moisture products to meet clinical and women’s needs within a maternity environment through collaboration between industry and clinicians.

Another paper outlines how healthcare practitioners can advance their practice. The third paper is from our colleagues from the United States and highlights the impact of the changing healthcare climate on wound care.

The final paper presents a meeting report of the ‘Core Outcome Set for Venous Leg Ulceration (CoreVen)’ project. This report describes the project’s introduction, rationale, purpose and progress to date and seeks to gain feedback on the proposed project methodology. In this issue, you will also find a chapter by EWMA on negative pressure wound therapy (‘Future Perspectives’) and an article about the SWAN-iCare project.

Finally, you will find an article by one of the EWMA cooperating organisations, the Swiss Wound Care Association (German section), focusing on the recognition of wound care centres, in addition to news from other collaborating partner organisations of EWMA.
