Dear colleagues, details of a call for papers and provocations for our
first Workshop at the Thackray Medical Museum, Leeds 11am – 4pm, 20
September 2016 are now at http://wounds.leeds.ac.uk/519-2/
@WoundInnovation
This first workshop will discuss the development of advanced wound care in
the UK, in particular, identifying which health professions, patients and
industries have been involved and their field of interaction.
Advanced wound care deals with chronic, complex wounds, including leg
ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and dehisced surgical wounds.
Most chronic wounds in the UK are managed by community nurses and the
experience of wound care falls as much in the domain of the domestic and
everyday as in that of professional medicine and healthcare. Although they
are a fundamental part of everyday healthcare, the technologies associated
with wounds are often considered mundane and overlooked by both researchers
and practitioners, with important consequences for patients and service
users.
Our second workshop on 13th December 2016 will focus on the science,
materials and technologies (+techniques) that have been and are being used
in wound care.
A third workshop on 13th March 2017 will focus on marketing, regulation and
evidence of effectiveness.
We invite proposals for research papers (20 minutes) or short provocations
(5-7 minutes) which explore and reflect on the history of wound care and/or
its current practices in the UK. Please send abstracts of no more than 250
words to Dr Mary Madden ([log in to unmask]) by Friday 8 July 2016. The
overall project seeks to explore new areas of research in the history and
sociology of wound care and critically examine the current pathways to
innovation in their wider context; we are looking to develop larger
research projects and interdisciplinary publications.
