COVID statement and guidelines
Wound Care is an essential service in this very difficult time of the Covid-19 pandemic. There are reports that hospitals and clinics in the United States are severely curtailing clinicians� ability to see patients, including closure of outpatient wound clinics. This prompted the Alliance for Wound Care Stakeholders to draft a letter that wound care clinicians may use to justify ongoing care. Read more...

WEF-CEP Patient Opinion Survey

In a collaborative effort between the WHS, AAWC, and the FDA, the WEF-CEP goal is to identify clinically meaningful, evidence-based wound care endpoints for research and new product approvals. We have completed a survey of the professional wound care community that included 628 participants. The results, which identified 15 top-rated patient-centered and/or clinical endpoints, have been published in Wound Repair and Regeneration (March 2017). An additional publication presenting the research that supports these endpoints was recently accepted by WRR.
