The conference will focus on advances in wound care and will meet the continuing educational needs of healthcare professionals delivering care in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. The programme will build on current wound care knowledge and skills by bringing together international and local clinicians to share their experiences and best practice in this hugely important area of healthcare.

The MSWCP, led by President Dr Harikrishna K R Nair, will be hosting this conference and Wounds International is honoured to be involved in Asia's biggest and most exciting wound care event of 2013. The MSWCP will also be collaborating with other wound care and clinical societies throughout the Asia-Pacific region to encourage delegates to attend.

Kuala Lumpur, known as KL, is one of Asia's most iconic destinations. Delegates will find the city hugely welcoming – not only is it friendly and charming, but its warm climate and fantastic scenery make it an aspirational destination.

Development of the programme for the event is well underway and this will be published in due course.
