Conference
“A Canadian Healthcare Crisis: Chronic Wounds”
Thursday, November 08, 2012 - Sunday, November 11, 2012
Honorary Chair: David Keast, MD
Conference Chair: Connie Harris, ET, MSc
2012 brings a new year and the CAWC conference moves to London. A familiar venue with familiar faces – but 2012 promises something new, something different.
The focus of this years conference is “A Canadian Healthcare Crisis: Chronic Wounds” and will feature educational sessions on:
- The transition from institutional to home care
- Integrating the interdisciplinary team
- Dealing with the changing Demographic
- Managing the complex and complicated wound
This focus will provide a backbone from which many new, different sessions and activities will emerge providing a different conference experience from those of the past. We have listened to our customer and conference 2012 will demonstrate the new emerging CAWC for 2012 and beyond. Some elements will remain the same but others will be refreshingly new.
You may have attended a previous CAWC conference in London, in this venue, but you will not have experienced a CAWC conference like that planned for 2012.
Refreshingly Different
CAWC 2012 in London will demonstrate an evolution in terms of material, delivery and experience.
- Multidisciplinary will become a reality with both the attendance and participation of different disciplinary groups
- Evidence informed, will be up to date and more importantly practically orientated
- Conference materials will be more practical, convenient and environmentally friendly
- Industry is an important part of the development and evolution of wound care as we know it today and their participation will be more interactive beyond the usual exhibition
This is only the beginning. During the coming year in particular the run up to conference we will be seeking the opinion of our membership to ensure we deliver a conference that’s needed, different and well attended. Don’t delay, register today and see what a difference a short time frame from Ottawa to London can make.
We look forward to seeing you in London!
