THE IMPACT EDUCATIONAL EVENTS CAN BRING TO YOUR STAFF
Sending wound, ostomy, and continence healthcare staff to an educational off-site event or industry conference may initially seem inconvenient—however, the short- and long-term value these opportunities provide your staff and your organization’s clinical practice can have a more significant impact than you might think.
This blog breaks down the top three value-adds an educational event can bring to your staff, organization, and patients—and how WOCNext® takes these areas to the next level. Don’t miss WOCNext in Cleveland, Ohio, from June 9-12, 2024!
1. LATEST EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATION
The best way to improve patient outcomes is by advancing clinical practice. Some events are designed to present new evidence-based education and standards of care that clinicians need to stay current and compliant. By sending a wound, ostomy, and continence care staff member to WOCNext, they become an information ambassador for your organization, bringing back valuable best practices, education, practical ideas, product recommendations, and more that will keep your organization at the forefront of clinical excellence and innovation.
HOW WOCNEXT OFFERS NEXT-LEVEL EDUCATION
WOCNext provides new evidence-based education delivered by the people who set standards of care. WOCNext shares the latest techniques, technologies, and applications in wound, ostomy, continence, and foot and nail care. It’s the only conference of the year that delivers ALL the newest need-to-know information.

2. CENTRALIZED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Clinicians need to secure Continuing Education credits throughout the year, and specific industry events allow attendees to earn many at once. This approach eliminates consistent interruptions to work and patient care while better immersing staff in the information. WOCNext has professional development in many forms including educational sessions, poster presentations, symposia sessions, exhibit halls, speaker presentations, networking, and more, giving attendees a well-rounded view of the content.
HOW WOCNEXT OFFERS NEXT-LEVEL GROWTH
WOCNext lets attendees learn, grow, and enrich their careers with unmatched professional development opportunities. From Continuing Education credits and specialized learning to renowned speakers and networking opportunities, WOCNext packs value into every minute and every moment.

3. POWER OF AN INFORMED COMMUNITY
When a wound, ostomy, and continence care staff member is supported, better yet encouraged, by their manager and organization to attend an educational event, it signals that they’re viewed as more than an individual contributor but as a significant asset that can help the organization grow and advance. Entrusting staff to attend an event like WOCNext empowers them to learn on behalf of the organization and adopt a leadership mentality when sharing information and takeaways. This empowerment and satisfaction can lead to greater employee retention.
HOW WOCNEXT OFFERS NEXT-LEVEL Gathering
WOCNext is open and empowering to everyone, with education for new and seasoned professionals. Inclusive and thoughtful networking opportunities, inspiring speeches, helpful handouts, and on-demand content following the event makes it easy for attendees to share valuable information with their teams.

HOW DO I KNOW IF AN EVENT IS WORTHWHILE?
Industry events come in all shapes and sizes—with varying objectives and areas of focus. If a short event will inspire and energize your wound, ostomy, and continence care staff, that might be reason enough to send them. If it’s a more extended event that will take your employee away from their care setting for a few days, check that the host and speakers are credible, the content is evidence-based, and that the potential Continuing Education credits are sufficient.
