To support Truth and Reconciliation and improve wound, ostomy, and continence care for Indigenous communities, Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC) has partnerned with WoundPedia and Queen’s University to launch the Indigenous ECHO Canada Skin and Wound program.
This initiative builds on the success of Ontario’s ECHO Skin and Wound model, using virtual education to train healthcare professionals in Indigenous communities. The program, supported by Indigenous Services Canada, includes eight interactive sessions from February to May 2025, focusing on wound care, vascular assessment, infection management, and more.
By fostering inter-professional collaboration and culturally safe education, this program aims to enhance healthcare equity and improve patient outcomes.
