CONSENSUS REPORTS
Experts driving global changeTo drive change, there needs to be consensus on what direction to go. In the past two years, several consensus meetings have been organised, with surgeons discussing incision care in general and dressing change protocols and dressing requirements. The discussions of all meetings are summerised in one consensus document. Further more, in a clinical supplement asking the question "Are incisions the forgotten wound?" Two surgeons discuss the importance of better, undisturbed incision care.
Watch the recording of one of the presentations from the Mölnlycke symposium at EORNA 2022, where Rhidian Morgan-Jones, orthopaedic surgeon from the UK, talks about Dressing Consensus: Risks & Choices.
