So, so sad to hear of the untimely death of my friend and former band mate Bruce Guthro. He was just the nicest person you could ever hope to meet and a joy to perform with. An exceptional singer, musician and song writer taken far too soon. We are going to miss him. RIP.

There is an opinion held by some that #WoundCareEvidence is lacking, but an @DressingSdma audit indicates that over 6 years, 259 studies were conducted, representing over 1.4m patients, with data showing that there is indeed sufficient clinical evidence.

Suitable diagnostics and the appropriate wound management technology should be available and funded accordingly, so that staff can deliver high quality, patient focussed care. #BurdenofWounds

The total annual cost of wound management is £8.3bn, of which 67% is spent on managing unhealed wounds. Wound products only account for 6% of the total wound care spend. #BurdenofWounds
