3 A fresh approach to challenging wounds by combining T.I.M.E. with pioneering solutions Across Europe, and in fact the world, the demand for healthcare resources continues to grow, as the demographics change, long term conditions become more prevalent and patient expectations rise. 3,4 Healthcare professionals are expected to do more with less and to deliver care that is efficient and effective. 3,4 In this symposium we will present evidence based solutions and new tools to help you and your teams assess and manage challenging wounds, identify problems quickly and providing evidence based treatment decisions to help improve outcomes. 3.

4 Chair Dr Caroline Dowsett Clinical Nurse Specialist Tissue Viability East London NHS Foundation Trust London & Independent Nurse Consultant in Wound Care Consultant in Wound Care Dr Caroline Dowsett, PhD, MSc, BSc (Hons), Dip N, D.N, RGN, works as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Tissue Viability for East London Foundation Trust where she is also the Clinical Lead for the leg ulcer service. Caroline also works globally as an Independent Nurse Consultant in Wound Care. She has worked in the field of wound care for over 25 years. Her main interests are in leg ulcer management, wound bed preparation and wound assessment, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, quality improvement and service developments in wound care provision. Caroline was wound care nurse of the year in the UK in 1997 and 1999, winner of Wound UK award in 2007, and won a Queens Nursing Institute award for outstanding service to primary care in Her work on pressure ulcer prevention and management was the frontline submission for the High Impact Actions; Your skin matters in Caroline is on the editorial board for Wounds UK and has published widely in peer review journals. Caroline has taken part in several research projects and expert advisory boards. She is an honorary lecturer at City University London and lectures locally, nationally and internationally.

5 T.I.M.E. to improve patient outcomes T.I.M.E. was initially developed in 2003 and provides a structured approach to allow the clinician to focus on certain aspects of the wound to facilitate appropriate and realistic goal-setting within the context of holistic patient care. As T.I.M.E. evolved, our knowledge and understanding of wound healing has continued to grow, and new evidence and technologies have emerged that can improve wound diagnostics and treatment choices. In my presentation I will be sharing these insights and introduce a new tool, which has been developed in partnership with nurses and wound care specialists, with the aim of simplifying wound care choices and improving outcomes for patients, practitioners and providers.

6 Dr Matthew Malone Head of Department, High Risk Foot Service, Liverpool Hospital, Sydney. Conjoint lecturer, Western Sydney University. Senior Research Fellow, LIVE DIAB CRU, Inghams Institute of Applied Medical Research, Sydney, Australia. Matthew is the current Head of Department for the High-Risk Foot Service at Liverpool Hospital in Sydney and a Senior Research Fellow with the Liverpool Diabetes Collaborative Research Unit at the Ingham Institute of Applied Medical Research, Sydney. Matthew completed his PhD in microbiology from the School of Medicine, Western Sydney University and his research interest is in the use of molecular and microscopy techniques to better understand Diabetes Foot Infections and the role of biofilms in human health and disease. In June 2014, Matthew was awarded with fellowship to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Glasgow, Faculty of Podiatric Medicine. References 5. Malone, M. et al. The prevalence of biofilms in chronic wounds: a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data. J. Wound Care 26, (2017). 6. Schultz, G. et al. Consensus guidelines for the identification and treatment of biofilms in chronic nonhealing wounds. Wound Repair Regen. 25, (2017).

7 T and I of T.I.M.E.: Infection management and biofilm-based wound care Biofilm is thought to be present in around 78% of chronic wounds. 5 A recent publication with 10 key recommendations 6 has added clarity to biofilm understanding resulting in an enhanced clinical awareness towards this barrier to healing. Furthermore new clinical evidence is beginning to highlight the new treatment strategies for wounds containing biofilms. 7 This new knowledge and evidence is leading to the evolution of the T.I.M.E. 8,9 concept. In my presentation I will illustrate how the I category must now be viewed from both the classic infection and from the biofilm-based wound care perspective and how this approach fits into the wound bed preparation continuum. My presentation aims to clarify how to make use of new technologies to assess bioburden in chronic wounds, optimal antimicrobial treatments to tackle biofilm and when to decide to kick-start healing and switch to advanced therapies. 7.

8 Andrew Sharpe Advanced Podiatrist and Team Leader Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust Andrew works across 3 main fields within podiatry: clinical lead practitioner, clinical trials/ scholarly output and teaching. He also works in NHS care for West Lancashire Community, Virgin Care Ltd. Their goal is for patients to feel the difference. Andrew s current qualifications include a BSc (Hons) Podiatry, MSc Podiatry and Non-Medical Prescriber. In addition to his clinical work Andrew has held teaching positions at the University of Huddersfield and Edge Hill University and now supports Virgin Care s Learning Environment team for teaching Virgin Care staff. Andrew wishes to grow his research profile and currently has a scholarly output being involved in writing guidelines, helping to produce consensus documents, writing articles for peer reviewed journals, and presenting at national and international conferences. Andrew always enjoys attending international expert panel seminars such as this as he learns from other key opinion leaders in the field of wound care.

9 T.I.M.E. to kick start hard to heal wounds Wound care is already a huge burden for healthcare systems, but over the coming years this burden is set to increase as our society grows and ages. Recent data has shown that over the period of a year 61% of wounds go on to heal, but 39% that do not. 10 These nonhealing wounds consume a disproportionate amount of people and financial resources, contributing to an unprecedented strain on the healthcare system. Our aim is of course to heal wounds, but what are the key milestones on the road to healing and are there new approaches we can take to accelerate the healing trajectory? In my presentation I will focus on the M and E of the T.I.M.E. framework and the role PICO snpwt has in terms of accelerating the healing trajectory of hard to heal wounds. 11 There will be a review of the latest evidence and guidelines for PICO snpwt. Clinical cases will showcase the new PICO 7 snpwt system demonstrating how this new product can improve both the clinical outcomes of hard to heal wounds and the overall patient experience.
