National wound care organizations

National wound care organizations are professional groups dedicated to improving the treatment and management of wounds, such as ulcers, burns, and surgical wounds. They provide education, research, standards, and guidelines for healthcare providers to ensure patients receive effective and consistent care. These organizations also promote awareness, support innovation, and advocate for patients and clinicians, helping to advance wound healing practices across the country. Examples include the Wound Care Education Institute (WCEI) and the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN).
