WA wound training
July 15, 2010
PHARMACISTS will be able to
access a new ‘high technology
education centre’ dedicated to
wound management which has
been launched in Western Australia.
The project is being led by Silver
Chain Nursing Association, with the
centre to be located at the Curtin
University of Technology.
The new wound clinical
education centre will provide
training for doctors, nurses and
other health professionals, with the
latest diagnostic and treatment
technology and custom-made ‘real
life’ acute and chronic latex
wounds and simulation models.
Health Minister Nicola Roxon
said that both undergraduate and
postgraduate pharmacy students
would be able to access hands-on
training, along with other health
practitioners such as nurses,
physiotherapists, occupational
therapists and podiatrists.
The project will receive $380,000
in funding and is expected to be
fully operational within three
months, Roxon said.
