Shining a light on sun safety and skin health
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, according to the Queensland Government. While sun damage is a short-term inconvenience, it can have long-lasting consequences for our skin health and wound healing. As we are in the heat of Summer now, it’s the perfect time to refresh our memories on the importance of sun safety!
Supporting People with Acute Wounds in the Community Pharmacy
Every day across Australia, people walk into their local pharmacy seeking help for cuts, blisters, grazes, burns or skin tears. These are often minor wounds – but if not managed appropriately, they can escalate into serious health issues.
Introducing the Wound Aware Newsletter
Be Wound Aware is a national government funded campaign by Wounds Australia. We have one main goal – to raise awareness about wounds and wound care for people from all backgrounds, all over Australia. Almost half a million Australians have an unhealed wound, and the annual financial burden is over $3 billion.
