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.<\/p>\n
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]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n And that is exactly what happens on this website…a place where we ‘meet and read and write.’<\/p>\n 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]<\/span><\/a> Over a period of weeks we wrote a response to their paper [3]<\/span><\/a> which we’d\u00a0 like to share with the world.<\/p>\n ‘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<\/em> 21, 362-371′\u00a0\u00a0 written by<\/p>\n Catherine A Sharp, Richard White, Karen Ousey, Martyn Butcher and Colin Iversen<\/p>\n And now we’d love to read your responses!<\/p>\n [1] Berners-Lee on the read\/write web<\/a>.
