International Collaboration
The WCET® Executive Board has been very hard at work for our members. The Congress Planning Committee consisting of representatives from the WCET® and ASCN-UK have been meeting to further plan the next biennial Congress in Glasgow, Scotland to be held October 2020.
Likewise, the Scientific Committee, also a blend of representatives from both organisations, is diligently finalising the keynote and invited speakers. Do check out the Congress website at https://www.wcet-ascnuk2020.com for the latest information.
By the time you read this, the call for abstracts will be open so start planning your abstract now. One of the strengths of the biennial Congress is the many abstracts submitted by our members and colleagues worldwide. I always look forward to reading the posters and hearing the oral abstract presentations and encourage you to participate in the Glasgow Congress.
The opportunity to share knowledge and explore new and different options for patient strategies will hopefully encourage you to write an abstract. It is so interesting to see the commonalities of clinical problems we are all faced with in practice. Learning about what nurses and other health professionals from around the world are doing is not only enriching but inspirational. All of us do hope you will take the time and submit your research, case study and/or clinical insights as an abstract.
WCET® has been one of the professional organisations that has members on small working groups for the third edition of the EPUAP NPUAP/PPPIA International Pressure Injury Clinical Guideline. Thank you to our members who gave their volunteer time to develop a section of the guideline.
As well as individual stakeholders from around the world, the WCET® Executive Board, on behalf of the WCET®, has had the opportunity to review, comment and endorse the guideline. This widespread global collaboration of individual stakeholders and professional associations has resulted in the development of a new guideline based on extensive synthesis of the latest evidence. If you can, plan to attend the International launch of the guideline on 15 and 16 November 2019 in Los Angeles, California. You can find out more information on the NPUAP website www.npuap.org.
So as we look forward to celebrating world Ostomy Day on 5 October, and all the other wonderful achievements that will be happening soon, lets keep in mind the value of collaboration. As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
Sincerely
Elizabeth

国际合作
WCET®执行委员会一直致力于为组织中的成员服务。由WCET®和ASCN-UK代表组成的大会筹备委员会不断召开会议，以进一步筹备将于2020年10月在苏格兰格拉斯哥举行的下一届双年大会。
同样，由两个组织代表组成的科学委员会也一直在积极努力地确定会议主题发言人和受邀发言人。请访问大会网站https://www.wcet-ascnuk2020.com，以获取最新信息。
在您阅读本文的同时，对摘要的征集通道已经开启，因此，现在即可开始规划摘要。双年大会的优势之一就是由世界各地组织成员和同行们提交的众多论文摘要。我们一直期待着阅读会议海报、听取您对摘要内容的口头展示，同时，也鼓励您积极参与到下一届格拉斯哥大会当中。
这是一个分享知识、对患者治疗策略的不同新方案进行探索的大好机会，因此希望您能撰写自己的摘要。了解大家在临床实践中面临的共性临床问题将会极为有趣。了解世界各地的护士和其他医务人员正在进行的实践和研究，不仅让人收获颇丰，同时也十分鼓舞人心。我们十分希望您能拨冗，并以摘要形式提交您的研究、病例研究和/或临床见解。
作为众多专业组织之一，WCET®一直都有成员参与欧洲压疮咨询委员会（EPUAP）/美国国家压疮咨询委员会（NPUAP）/泛太平洋压力性损伤联合会（PPPIA）《国际压力性损伤临床实践指南》第3版的编写工作。感谢我们的成员，他们自愿为指南相应部分的制定投入了时间。
代表WCET®的WCET®执行委员会与来自世界各地的个体利益相关者一同拥有了审评、评论和认可该指南的机会。
个体利益相关者和专业协会之间的这一广泛性全球合作，促成了基于大量最新证据合成的新指南制定。如有兴趣，请于2019年11月15日至16日参与加利福尼亚州洛杉矶举行的新指南国际发布会。您可访问NPUAP网站www.npuap.org，以查找更多的相关信息。
那么让我们真诚地期待于10月5日庆祝世界造口日，并为即将问世的所有其他出色成就一齐喝彩，同时共同铭记合作的价值。就像海伦•凯勒所说，“单枪匹马，车水杯薪；同心一致，其力断金”。
特此诚邀
Elizabeth
