Wound care panel discussion

Out of the three billion dollars spent on wound care in Australia annually, 2.8 billion are used caring for chronic wounds. The ABC Health Report recently aired a panel discussion on wound care, sponsored by the Wounds Cooperative Research Centre and featuring some of Australia's expert researchers in the field of wound management practice and research. Held at Parliament House in Canberra and chaired by Robyn Williams, panelists included Professor Helen Edwards from Queensland University of Technology and Professor Karyln Carville from Curtin University.  Also taking part in the discussion was a patient who had a 17 year old wound healed in a few weeks once he got the correct treatment.
