Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research innovations in skin and wound care have made significant strides in recent years, revolutionising the way healthcare professionals approach the management of skin integrity and wound healing.
Furthermore, the integration of digital health tools, such as telemedicine and mobile health applications, is transforming patient monitoring and education, allowing for personalised care strategies. As these innovations continue to emerge and interprofessional healthcare professionals are highlighted as being important, there is the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals affected by skin and wound conditions.
This Nursing Reports Special Issue on “Research Innovations in Skin and Wound Care” will provide a platform to highlight research projects focused on innovative solutions to the challenge of skin and wound care by healthcare professionals in hospital and community settings.
This timely dialogue is highly relevant. As the prevalence of chronic wounds continues to rise due to factors such as diabetes, ageing populations, and increased surgical procedures, the need for advanced therapeutic solutions is more critical than ever.
