Aim To identify and categorise active wound care education courses available to healthcare workers in Australia in order to establish an accessible wound care education resource directory. Method A modified point prevalence enquiry of active wound care education courses was conducted in 2021. Data was collected via an initial desk search, with follow-up by direct contact with education course providers and representative wound care professionals as required to identify and categorise wound care education courses. Results Sixty-one (61) currently available active wound care educational courses available to healthcare workers met the inclusion criteria for identification and categorisation, providing the content for an online accessible wound care education resource directory. Conclusion Access to wound care educational courses in Australia is ad hoc, with courses identified as available from a wide range of providers. The identification and categorisation of these courses providing the content for an online accessible wound care education resource directory will likely improve access to knowledge and treatments leading to improved consumer outcomes.

Aims/hypothesis To identify hospital admissions and length of stay (LOS) and to investigate readmissions, cumulative LOS and associated factors for diabetes-related foot ulceration (DFU). Methods Routinely-collected hospital admission data were used to identify DFU-related hospital admissions in two public hospitals between 2012–17. Readmission and cumulative LOS were investigated using negative binomial regression. Results DFU-related admission was required by 749 patients. Median LOS was 8–10 days (stable across 2012–17). Readmission within 28 days was required by 62 patients (8%) and was significantly more likely with increasing comorbidities (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.38, 95% confidence intervals [95% CI] 1.02–1.88). Readmission within 1 year was required by 206 patients (28%), and was significantly more likely for males, unplanned admissions and increasing revascularisation requirements (IRR 1.34–1.70), and significantly less likely for those requiring minor and major amputation (IRR 0.33–0.64).
