INVITATION Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Conference Committee, we take great pleasure in inviting you to attend the Queensland Wound Care Association 2011 Biennial Wound Management Conference to be held at Jupiters Townsville from 8 10 September 2011. The Conference theme, Wound Care New Horizons encapsulates exciting times that we are embarking upon in the field of Wound Management. Queensland has already faced many challenges in 2011 and this Conference will provide Queensland with an opportunity to reflect on how far we have advanced in the area of Wound Management and look towards positive New Horizons. The Conference will explore innovations in Wound Management, advances in Wound Research and Practice and address issues of fundamental importance in tropical, rural and remote areas. For the first time ever, the Conference will be highly interactive in nature with workshops being a core feature of the program. We are pleased to announce that we have secured two (2) internationally renowned Keynote Speakers from the Department of Dermatology & Wound Healing, School of Medicine, Cardiff University - Professor Keith Harding, Sub Dean of Innovation & Engagement, Head of Section of Wound Healing and Ms, Senior Professional Tutor. The program will be supplemented by a comprehensive Trade Exhibition featuring the latest technology available in Wound Management. We are delighted with the strong support from wound care industry suppliers. Their participation is acknowledged as being essential to the success of the Conference. Social activities have been planned to provide the opportunity to network with colleagues in a relaxed and friendly environment. We encourage all those interested in wound healing to attend and participate in what will be a very stimulating Conference. The Townsville region has something for everyone - beautiful coastal towns, island paradises, tropical rainforest and rugged Outback. We hope that you are tempted and we look forward to welcoming you to Townsville in September.
