Wound up for Wounds Wound up (verb. To be excited) for Wounds (noun.
Injuries to living tissue)
Welcome to the first edition of Wound up for Wounds, a
newsletter from the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority
(WRHA) Wound Care portfolio.
As the Education and Research Coordinator-Wound Care for
WRHA, I am responsible for supporting initiatives to promote
evidence-based practice to improve the quality of wound and
skin care, including prevention and management of wounds.
My role is primarily focused on identifying learning needs in
wound prevention and wound care for health care
professionals and support staff. I work collaboratively with
clinicians to develop learning strategies and resources
including wound care courses and clinician mentorship.
It surprises many that my job is dedicated to wound care. I
coordinate all of the WRHA wound care courses, and rely on
a strong team of clinicians including dietitians, nurses,
occupational therapists, physicians, and physiotherapists to
develop content and teach the courses.
My favourite role is to be a resource to the health-care
community in trying to solve problems, connect professionals
with each other, and I delight in making someone’s day a bit
easier, so please feel free to call or email me. If I cannot
answer your question, I can usually find someone who can!
