'The Australian Wound Management Association (AWMA) is the peak body for wound management in Australia. AWMA has been lobbying key policy makers and the general public for over a decade in a bid to bring attention to the seriousness of chronic wounds as a significant social problem which demands urgent attention. Wound patients have continuously fallen through the cracks in terms of Government funding. It is the intention of AWMA to continue lobbying for political action and to educate the public on this overlooked, yet extremely serious issue. AWMA is looking to build a case that can demonstrate to the Federal Government that there are better health outcomes where there is funding for both nurse treatment, funding for the provision of wound management products, and also into wound management training. The elderly need to be ensured the right and sufficient care they deserve. There needs to be a coordinated Federal approach so we ask for your support. Please sign the attached petition, or go online to www.elephantintheroom.com.au for further information and to sign the online petition.'
