Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made by the National Wound Care Strategy Programme.

The National Wound Care Strategy Programme (NWCSP) has three clinical workstreams (Pressure Ulcers, Lower Limb, Surgical Wounds) and four enabler workstreams (Education and Workforce, Research, Data and Information, Supply and Distribution). Over 80 leading clinicians, researchers, supply and procurement specialists and policy makers are involved in the workstreams, and have commenced work to deliver the programme.

The NWCSP has a public web page, which includes further information on the strategy. The web page is being further developed and will include regular updates on the progress of the Programme. The NWCSP web page is available as part of the Academic Health Science Networks (AHSN) publicly available website.
