Paul Hartmann Pty Ltd and the Australian Wound Management Association (AWMA) are undertaking a collaborative venture to provide eight scholarships for AWMA members to attend the HEMI Advanced Wound Care Course in June 2006. 

In 2006, one Scholarship will be awarded to one successful AWMA member from each Australian State and Territory.  The Scholarship includes registration costs for the three-day course, all accommodation, travel and meal requirements.  Funding of the Scholarship is by Paul Hartmann. 

To apply for the Scholarship, you will need to complete and forward an application form along with a case study documenting your management of a significant or complex wound.  Your application must reach the AWMA by Friday 30th December 2005. 

The AWMA appointed Judging Panel will determine the successful applicants based on their ability to demonstrate the principles of best practice in modern wound care within their Case Studies, and their vision for sharing knowledge gained from the HEMI Advanced Wound Care Course with colleagues and patients in the workplace.  To enter the scholarship you must be an AWMA member and you will need to download the following documents from our website or contact the Scholarship Secretariat.
