A two-day workshop focusing on wound management took place at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. The Burns and Plastic Surgery block at AIIMS, in partnership with the College of Nursing, AIIMS, and the Inter-Professional Wound Care Association (IWCA), successfully hosted the inaugural International Wound Management Certificate Course on February 20-21. This course was certified by the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (BAPRAS) in the UK.The event was inaugurated by M Srinivas, Director of AIIMS, and T Dileeep Kumar, President of the Indian Nursing Council, with leadership from Prof. Maneesh Singhal, Dr. Ravi Mahajan, Dr. Bharat Kotru, and others.

During the workshop, Prof. Singhal highlighted AIIMS’s commitment to enhancing medical education and fostering international collaborations. “This workshop reinforces AIIMS’ dedication to providing healthcare professionals with the latest knowledge and skills in wound management, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes,” he stated.

In India, chronic wounds affect approximately 1.89 individuals per 1,000, with rates increasing to 2.64 per 1,000 in rural regions and 1.09 per 1,000 in urban areas. This underscores significant disparities in healthcare access and wound management. Conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, and trauma-related wounds present considerable public health challenges, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach, early detection, and advanced care techniques, according to AIIMS.

To address these critical issues, the workshop included hands-on skill stations focused on wound assessment, advanced dressing techniques, and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), all aimed at enhancing the clinical skills of healthcare professionals, in collaboration with BAPRAS.
