• Social media (Twitter, Facebook along with our active Diabetic Foot Community, LinkedIn, Instagram)
• Regular e-blasts
• Two nationally and internationally recognized publications: Wound Care Canada and Limb Preservation in Canada
• This website
• Published materials (resources, tools, best practice guidelines, educational workbooks)
• Cultivating and maintaining strategic partnerships that expand our reach even further

Wounds Canada works with a variety of stakeholders with the goal to improve the quality of life for Canadians at risk of developing wounds or living with wounds. Stakeholders include industry such as medical device, medical technology and wound care dressing companies that play a crucial role of bringing new equipment, diagnostics, and treatments for wound care to the market.

Recognizing the value that industry brings to skin and wound care patients, Wounds Canada is committed to:

• Always placing the best interests of people at risk of developing or living with wounds at the forefront
• Being transparent about its relationships with all stakeholders in its communications
• Ensuring clear agreements are in place that outline the nature and scope of sponsorships
• At the core of its stakeholder relationships, Wounds Canada collaborates with honesty, transparency, and accountability to avoid any conflicts of interest.

Wounds Canada values the important contribution of all its sponsors, however, it is not able to provide direct endorsements of any product, service or treatment.
