The Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) is the pre-eminent multidisciplinary organisation for wound care.

The AAWC is a non-profit association with headquarters in the US. The organisation is open to everyone involved in wound care, including clinicians, patients and their lay caregivers, those working in health facilities and industry, students, retirees and others interested in the care of wounds. AAWC was conceived in 1995 to spread awareness of wound care by promoting excellence in education, clinical practice, public policy and research.

Our mission

The AAWC gives its members the opportunity, through numerous association benefits and activities, to build a collaborative community to facilitate optimal care for those who suffer with wounds. This community encourages an equal partnership among all individuals who are involved in the care of patients.
