Welcome to the New Zealand Wound Care Society Website

The New Zealand Wound Care Society Inc (NZWCS) is a voluntary organisation made up of health care professionals from a variety of disciplines who share a common interest in wound management. As an organisation it gives its members an opportunity to share experience, expertise and knowledge providing a forum to network with other members throughout the country.

The aims of the Society are:

  1. To improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with wound and skin integrity problems.
  2. To provide and encourage best practice wound management across all health care settings.
  3. To be a recognised voice at national and local level in any issues relating to wound healing or maintaining skin integrity.

To achieve these aims the NZWCS has a focus on education and professional development, as well as fostering and encouraging an evidence-based approach to wound management. The Society holds regular local education sessions and study days, which are organised by Area Coordinators, and a biennial national conference. Members also receive two international wound care journals and the Society's own newsletter Tissue Issue.
