Wound Insight 💡
Modern wound care often focuses on maintaining a balanced moisture environment to support healing.

Research shows that most wounds heal more effectively when the wound bed is kept appropriately moist.

In most cases benefits of moist wound healing include:
• Faster healing
• Reduced scarring
• Improved tissue regeneration
• Less discomfort during dressing changes

It is important that the right dressing and treatment approach is selected for the wound and patients to achieve optimal outcomes.

Prevention plays a powerful role in wound care.

For many people receiving care at home or in aged care settings, prevention is one of the most important parts of wound management.

Simple actions can help reduce risk, including:

• Regular skin checks
• Managing moisture and skin integrity
• Supporting good nutrition and hydration
• Reducing pressure through repositioning

Early intervention can prevent small skin issues from becoming complex wounds.

If you would like support or guidance around wound care management, our clinical team is here to help.

Wound Insight 💡
Nutrition plays an important role in wound healing.

When the body is trying to repair damaged tissue, it requires additional energy, protein and key nutrients to support the healing process.

Some of the nutrients that help support wound healing include:
• Protein
• Vitamin C
• Zinc
• Adequate hydration

If nutrition is compromised, wound healing may slow and the risk of complications can increase.

Supporting good nutrition is an important part of effective wound care.

Recognising Early Signs of Wound Infection

Early recognition of wound infection can make a significant difference to healing outcomes.

Some signs carers and support workers should watch for include:

• Increasing redness around the wound
• Swelling or warmth
• Increased pain or tenderness
• Unusual odour
• Changes in wound drainage

If a wound begins to change or deteriorate, early clinical assessment is important.

Wound Innovations supports patients, carers and healthcare teams with evidence-based wound management across Australia.

Meet Jan, Stomal Therapy and Wound Care Specialist at Wound Innovations, supporting patients and care teams across Queensland.

Jan brings more than 20 years of experience in Stomal Therapy and Wound Care. She completed her Graduate Certificate in Stomal Therapy Nursing in 2001 after already spending 19 years in acute nursing settings. Much of her early career was in paediatrics, caring for premature babies through to teenagers with complex stoma, wound and continence needs. This experience shaped her compassionate, highly skilled and patient centred approach to care.

Following significant organisational change within the health sector, Jan broadened her expertise in a public sector adult acute hospital while continuing to support paediatric services. More recently, she transitioned into community based Stomal Therapy nursing, where she continues to make a meaningful difference for patients and care teams.

Throughout her career, Jan has supported people of all ages requiring stoma care or living with complex wounds, including vascular, diabetic and surgical wounds, pressure injuries and fistulae.

Jan is deeply committed to delivering exceptional, person centred care that improves quality of life. She is a strong advocate for optimising health outcomes through education, collaboration and holistic support for patients, families and multidisciplinary teams.

For Jan, the most rewarding part of her role is seeing patients grow in confidence, wounds progress toward healing, stoma challenges resolve and knowing she has shared knowledge that empowers others.

Did you know?

Pressure injuries affect approximately 1 in 10 patients in healthcare settings worldwide.

Many of these injuries can be prevented through early intervention, regular skin assessments and appropriate pressure management.

Simple actions such as repositioning, monitoring skin integrity and maintaining hydration can significantly reduce risk.

Raising awareness helps protect vulnerable patients and supports better outcomes across healthcare and aged care environments.
