The web is huge and it’s a real benefit to have a place where you can find, share and comment on, wound care information, instantly.
It’s not that long ago, in August 1991 to be precise, that Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the first website. He called it the ‘Read/Write Web’…’a collaborative medium, a place where we [could] all meet and read and write’. [1]
And that is exactly what happens on this website…a place where we ‘meet and read and write.’
After I posted ‘Incontinence does not cause pressure injuries!’ six months ago, people I have never met; Richard White, Karen Ousey, Martyn Butcher and Colin Iverson responded, via blog and email. Together we shared lots of information on the subject of pressure injury and incontinence then focussed on one particularly relevant paper by Zena Moore & Seamus Cowman.[2] Over a period of weeks we wrote a response to their paper [3] which we’d like to share with the world.
‘Response to Moore Z & Cowman S (2012) Pressure ulcer prevalence and prevention practices in care of the older person in the Republic of Ireland, Journal of Clinical Nursing 21, 362-371′ written by
Catherine A Sharp, Richard White, Karen Ousey, Martyn Butcher and Colin Iversen
And now we’d love to read your responses!

This is the right web site for everyone who wishes to find out
about this topic. You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you
(not that I personally would want to…HaHa).
You definitely put a brand new spin on a topic which
has been written about for many years. Great stuff, just excellent!
Everything is very open with a really clear explanation of the issues.
It was really informative. Your website is very useful.
Thanks for sharing!
You have made some good points there. I looked on the web for additional information about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this site.
