DATA RELEASE: OVERCOMING CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGEMENT OF PERINEAL PEDIATRIC WOUNDS On average, 3.9 million pediatric surgeries are performed annually in the US, and 5% of these surgical wounds develop infections or other wound complications, resulting in poor wound healing, and increased pain, hospital stay and treatment costs. In a pediatric case series by Mark Chaet, MD, FACS, FAAP, Edgar T. Sosa, DO, and Hanna Leteef, BS from Florida State University College of Medicine, presented at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring 2023 meeting, three patients, aged five months to 18 years, with difficult-to-dress perineal wounds with post-operative complications were treated with Altrazeal. Altrazeal’s powder form enabled ease of application in difficult-to-dress areas, and facilitated wound closure with less than expected healing times. Frequency of dressing changes was also significantly reduced. #ThinkThanksThinkAltrazeal #SAWC2023 #SAWCSpring #HealTheWorld #WoundManagement #PainManagement #PainReduction #WoundHealing #Wounds #Healthcare #Woundcare #MedicalDevices #PaediatricWounds #HealthcareHeroes

Meet the Speaker: Dr Laura Jones 🌟 Associate Professor Dr Laura Jones will be hosting our Female Genital Mutilation Lunch & Learn on the 3rd of October. 'Learning from the Female Genital Mutilation Sister Study: translating research into practice' will look at how the FGM Sister Study qualitatively explored the views of 44 FGM survivors, 13 men, and 44 healthcare professionals around preferences for the timing of deinfibulation surgery (opening surgery for women and girls with type 3 FGM) and how we can improve future FGM NHS service provision. Early study results were discussed at two workshops with communities affected by FGM and at a national stakeholder event. This interactive lunch and learn session seminar will provide an overview of FGM, the study, present a summary of the main findings, and highlight recommendations for how we might translate the research findings into policy and practice. Association of Child Protection Professionals members can attend this event for free, and non-members can buy a ticket here: https://lght.ly/hfimm5j
