Synopsis:
Chronic wound healing is a major challenge; it carries significant medical, economic and social burdens. As a physician trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I trained to treat patients with chronic wounds based on syndrome differentiation and external (topical) treatments.
I have spent the last 12 months in Southampton as an International Visiting Fellow to Dr Mani and colleagues learning about clinical research, the microcirculation as well as objective diagnosis, and standard care for chronic wounds.
Currently there is a greater emphasis on the use of technology and evidence based practice in Western medicine. This presentation will focus on what I have learnt and how I plan to use it on return to Shanghai.
all are welcome!
