Let's keep the wound awareness momentum going!

We were delighted to have Nurse Hamish Briggs support Wound Awareness Week, helping shine a spotlight on the importance of wound awareness and announcing the launch of our free Be Wound Aware Education Series. His video message helped us spread the word about the importance of wound prevention, care and healing, while encouraging more people to access the resources they need to become more confident and informed about wounds.

By using his voice to raise awareness, he's helping bring an important health topic into everyday conversations and reach more people with valuable information.

Watch Nurse Hamish Briggs' message below.

Wounds can affect anyone, at any stage of life. From everyday cuts and grazes to more complex wounds that require ongoing care, knowing how to respond and when to seek professional advice can make a real difference.

Wound Awareness Week provides an opportunity to share knowledge, start conversations and encourage people to take wound prevention and care seriously. But raising awareness shouldn't be limited to one week of the year.

We invite you to explore our Be Wound Aware Education Series here or our factsheets here. You can also sign up to our digital newsletter at https://www.bewoundaware.org/.

Keep spreading the word

Although Wound Awareness Week has wrapped up, there are plenty of ways to keep the momentum going. Share reliable wound care information with your friends, family and community, and encourage others to learn more about wound prevention, care and healing.

You can also join the conversation on social media using #woundaware to help spread the message further.

A huge thank you to Nurse Hamish Briggs for supporting Wound Awareness Week and helping us get more people talking about wounds.
