Standards of Wound Management 2nd Edition
The revised and updated 2nd edition of the AWMA Standards for Wound Management was launched at the 8th AWMA Conference in Perth in March, 2010. The 1st edition of the Standards, which was published in 2002, underwent review at various national workshops. In addition, the AWMA Standards Sub-committee conducted an extensive literature review to identify contemporary evidence, guidelines and consensus statements. Standard 3: Clinical Decision Making: Assessment and Planning and Standard 4: Clinical Decision Making: Practice have been significantly expanded. Standard 8: Corporate Governance is a new addition and reflects the responsibility of the service provider in supporting the implementation of evidence based wound management. A Glossary has been added to clarify terms used in the document. AWMA members will receive a free copy of the Standards in their next edition of Wound Practice & Research. Additional bound copies are available from Cambridge Media for $15 (includes GST and postage). An order form can be downloaded here. The AWMA would like to acknowledge with much appreciation an unconditional education grant from Paul Hartmann Pty. Ltd. which will facilitate the dissemination of the Standards nationally.
