Clinical Practice

The CAWC has provided these pages to link wound-care clinicians who are involved in particular areas of wound care.

Note: The discussion forum is also a good place to find information of interest pertaining to different types of wound-care practice.

Foot Care Canada

Foot Care Nurses of Canada Forming New Association
On September 22, 2007, a group of 60 foot-care nurses, educators and managers from across Canada met in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to discuss how to introduce national foot-care nurse guidelines for skills, education and certification. All 60 participants supported a draft position statement proposed by an Ad Hoc committee, and a consensus was reached to begin the development of a national communication strategy that could reach an estimated 3,000 – 6,000 foot-care nurses in Canada. It is understood that this is a huge undertaking, and there are many steps that need to happen in order for the ultimate goal of national guidelines and certification for foot care nurses to occur.

The newly appointed committee of FOOT CARE CANADA would like to take this opportunity to invite any interested foot-care nurse, regulatory body, educator and/or policy-maker to attend a workshop April 13, 2008, from 9:00 a.m. – 3:15 p.m., held at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario. This workshop will follow a foot care conference on April 11-12.
