AWSA Summer School 2025

The Australian Wound & Skin Alliance Board are passionate clinicians who have dedicated years to education and researching best practices. 

The Alliance has been formed through a bond of dedication and commitment to foster an environment where clinicians have opportunities for mentorship, understanding of ethical practices and to develop friendships and networks. 

The board members have a wealth of experience and knowledge and it is our vision to grow both the Alliance and the Summer School to support clinicians in their practice, open up a new world of learning and foster relationships both nationally and internationally. 

We are excited to be able to offer such a unique experience that will nurture new clinicians and support and challenge the more experienced!
