The NZWCS provides a supportive network throughout the country for health professionals to share experience, expertise & knowledge in the area of wound care. Over the last few years we have experienced national & international growth. We are well aligned & funded by government & run national educational campaigns with government support. We are doing a review of our society & volunteers roles to ensure we can support & sustain the growth we are experiencing. We would like some help developing a new strategic plan & structure to explore our current needs, long-term goals, current programmes & suggest new approaches to help us reach our objectives. We would like to draft a plan that outlines the resources & steps needed to help the organisation get there & to review our existing mission, vision & values, existing programmes & current & future plans If you would like to help us freshen up our approach we would welcome your input & expertise. Its a quick turn around.

What We Have In Place
A very committed enthusiastic team!
We have thirteen branches: Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Rotorua/Taupo, Bay of Plenty, Manawatu/Wanganui, Taranaki, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Nelson/Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago and Southland.
All areas have an Area coordinator and a National Committee member. The Area coordinator is responsible for coordinating meetings and seminars for the local branch members, while the National Committee member represents each branch at a national level. In some areas these duties are undertaken by the same volunteer.
We have 3 full time sub groups:
Pressure Injury Advisory Group (PIAG)
Leg Ulcer Advisory Group (LUAG)
Education Advisory Group (EAG).
In addition to these we set up Project Groups for time to time. The Wound Bed Preparation Working Group (WBPWG) and any other that the Society feels we have an need for.
The Society has a selection process for each of these groups. When new members are being sought we send out an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the whole membership, encouraging our passionate members to put themselves forward for consideration.
