WCET41-1 News and views K LeBlanc ENG.jpg

 

Dr LeBlanc is a global leader in advancing the field of skin integrity among aging populations. Her passion in skin tears and wound management is indisputable. She was a co-founder and first president of the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP). Kimberly was the driving force behind the panel which has accomplished many ground-breaking initiatives under her leadership including the development, multi-language translation and validation of a skin tear classification system. Her vision from the onset was to raise the global awareness of skin tears, encourage research and to establish an international panel to ensure that skin tears remain on the world stage.

WCET® is thankful that Dr LeBlanc also finds time to serve as the International Delegate (ID) from Canada.

Congratulations also to Prof Ayise Karadağ, who is the Dean of Koc University School of Nursing, Istanbul, Turkey, for winning the Silver Award for “Contribution to Education in Wound Care’.
