Welcome to the Harrogate edition. It is a packed journal reflecting a busy conference. So much has happened and is about to happen in the next 12–-18 months. We have had more abstracts submitted than ever before this year, so huge congratulations to those of you awarded poster and free paper submissions. There is excellent work being done around compliance and whether it is patients that are non-compliant/concordant or staff! This applies to pressure ulcer equipment and the use of compression (and, I would guess, other aspects of wound care too), so maybe we need to revisit what we do and how we do it.
