Invitation from Chair of the Scientific Committee
We would like to extend a very warm welcome to Perth for the 2010 AWMA Conference. The theme of our Conference is ‘Journey into New Frontiers’ – an opportunity to not only reflect on where we are today but more importantly to focus on the road ahead and the future of wound care. The rate of change is increasing, with better understanding of wound healing through research, therapeutic advances and new treatments and increasing evidence-based changes to wound care all contributing to changing the wound care landscape. We aim to bring together people from all the areas that are contributing to changing wound care, from delivery of care through to therapeutic development.
Communication is key to change, and by bringing together people from the entire spectrum
of wound care and management to Perth in 2010, we will provide a forum for clinicians
to become better informed of the latest research, researchers to be better informed of the
challenges faced in the clinic and for everyone involved in wound care to forge new and
exciting collaborations that will become the new frontiers in wound care.

Perth
March is a great time to visit Perth, with the searing heat of summer over and warm cloud free skies. The end of March is the perfect time of year for those who like walking on pristine beaches or through King’s Park, as well as for those whose interests lie more in the Swan Valley and Margaret River wine regions.
We look forward to welcoming you to our home for what we hope will be the best AWMA Conference yet.
