WOCN® Society’s 50th Annual Conference

Medline to Offer In-Person Access to Leading Wound Care Experts at WOCN Society’s 50th Annual Conference

In line with Medline’s focus on skin health, more than a dozen skin health clinical leaders will share insights on the latest wound care trends impacting WOC nurses during the company’s live, in-booth news show at this year’s WOCN Society’s 50th Annual Conference in Philadelphia.

The news show experience called “The Pulse” will air live June 3 and June 4 at Medline’s booth 742. Attendees can hear from such experts as Dr. Joyce Black, professor in the College of Nursing at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and best known for her work with the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP). As a national wound care expert, Dr. Black’s work to identify the problem of deep tissue pressure injury and clarify its definition helped lead her to receiving the NPUAP President’s Recognition Award.

Additionally, Dr. Greg Schultz, Professor and Director of the Institute for Wound Research at the University of Florida and member of the Global Wound Biofilm Expert Panel, will speak to biofilm’s impact on wounds and strategy for implementing an effective biofilm wound care plan. Dr. Schultz has authored more than 300 scientific publications that have been cited more than 17,000 times.
