It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2023 NZWCS Conference website, following closely on the heels of the '2021 in 2022 conference' we are thrilled by the interest and support already being received for this year's conference.

Our conference theme is "Improving Wound Healing through Innovation, Technology and Collaboration".

The conference aims to demonstrate recent learning, new information and the possible future of wound care in Aotearoa New Zealand with focus upon the physical, mental, digital and cultural well being of individuals with wound care needs.

The conference benefits health professionals working with people with skin and wound issues across the health spectrum. NZWCS conferences are renowned for being welcoming, informative, educational and fun; The conference dinner at the best covered stadium in Aotearoa New Zealand ... Forsyth Barr Stadium, will not disappoint.

Wound care continues to evolve, it is a creative field demanding expertise and innovative knowledge which must be shared and provided in a culturally appropriate way. There continues to be innovation in wound care which could ultimately change practice, the Wound Care Society are pleased to be recognised as demonstrators and supporters of wound care innovators and with this in mind we are thrilled to have many outstanding innovative speakers for this year's conference.
