NZWCS Study Session hosted by Mobile Health

Wound care can be complex, and selecting the right dressing is key to effective healing.

This session will explore what wound dressings actually do—looking beyond the packaging to understand their function and purpose. From foams to alginates, we’ll consider how different products work, why they are chosen, and how holistic assessment supports good clinical decisions.

Designed for primary and community care settings, this webinar aims to give clinicians greater confidence in their dressing selections and a clearer understanding of evidence-informed wound management. 

Our presenter, Sasha Drennan, is a Registered Nurse with over 20 years’ clinical experience in both the UK and Aotearoa, across perioperative, plastics, general, breast and ENT surgery, district nursing, and clinical education. She holds a Master’s in Digital Health and post-graduate qualifications in nurse education, palliative care, and perioperative nursing. Passionate about equitable care, Sasha champions the role of digital learning and innovation in supporting best practice.  Sasha is the NZWCS Education Officer.
