NSWOCC Ontario Local Meeting and Education Day Brings Members Together in Sudbury

NSWOCC was pleased to host a successful Ontario Local Meeting and Education Day on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, in Sudbury, Ontario, bringing Members together for an evening of education, collaboration, and connection. Hosted in partnership with Urgo Medical Canada, the in-person event took place at Verdiccio Ristorante and welcomed NSWOCC Members from the region for a dynamic and engaging program.

The evening began with registration and networking, followed by a team-building exercise and organizational updates led by Joshua Moralejo, MScCH:WPC, RN, BScN, NSWOC,WOCC(C), IIWCC, NSWOCC Ontario Regional Director, and Josée Sénéchal, MScCH-WC, BScN, RN, NSWOC. This session provided an opportunity for Members to connect with colleagues, share insights, and raise questions and challenges to the NSWOCC Board, reinforcing the value of local engagement and open dialogue.

The educational component of the evening featured the presentation “Clean to Heal: Rethinking Wound Cleansing in Canada,” delivered by Josée Sénéchal. The session focused on the latest IWII guidelines for therapeutic wound cleansing, examined current gaps in Canadian practice, compared cleansing solutions and techniques, and highlighted how evidence-based approaches can be integrated into everyday patient care.

The Sudbury meeting is part of NSWOCC’s ongoing series of Local Ontario meetings, designed to create accessible, in-person opportunities for Members across the province to connect, learn, and engage. Similar meetings were held in Ontario in the fall, reinforcing NSWOCC’s commitment to reaching members beyond a single location and fostering meaningful connections at the local and regional level.

A sincere thank you to our NSWOC educators, our dedicated industry partners, and Urgo Medical for making these free educational opportunities possible.

NSWOCC looks forward to continuing this momentum and remains committed to hosting additional local and regional Ontario meetings in the future, ensuring Members across the province have opportunities to engage, share, and learn together.
