Redefining the Wound Care Event Experience
The APWCA Tissue Repair Summit Spring (TRSS) brings together the seven pillars of wound care in one immersive summit designed to redefine the way providers, researchers, and industry leaders connect and learn.
Not only will TRSS fulfil your clinical CME requirements, but it will also empower you with the business insight, innovation, and forward-thinking education needed to shape the future of tissue repair…
An expertly curated program unites the most creative thought leaders in wound care, delivering practical knowledge you can apply in your practice the very
next day.
This isn’t a passive learning experience - it’s an interactive forum for debate, discovery, and direction. Expect panel discussions, quickfire symposia, and high-energy exchanges designed to extract strong opinions, inspire innovation, and accelerate collaboration.
If you only attend one Summit this year - make it APWCA TRSS.
An Event Built for Engagement
The Seven Pillars Of Wound Care
Through careful research, the organisers have aligned the most relevant symposia into seven core pillars designed to maximise learning and support better clinical practice.
-
The APWCA Tissue Repair Society Summit (TRSS) is a focused clinical and innovation programme exploring the future of tissue repair, limb salvage, diagnostics, and AI-enabled wound care.
The summit brings together:
Providers managing complex wounds and limb salvage cases
Innovators developing advanced diagnostics, imaging, and digital tools
Medical technology and wound care companies
Healthcare leaders shaping the next generation of wound care delivery
The program focuses on evidence, clinical decision-making, and emerging technologies that are transforming how complex wounds are assessed, diagnosed, and treated.
-
The Summit is designed for professionals involved in advanced wound care and tissue repair, including:
Providers
Wound centre directors
Podiatrists, vascular specialists, and surgeons
Advanced practice providers working in wound care
Multidisciplinary limb salvage teams
Hospital outpatient wound programs
Independent wound practices and mobile providers
Industry
Advanced wound care and CAMPs companies
Diagnostics and imaging innovators
AI and digital health companies
Remote monitoring and wound documentation platforms
Device and technology manufacturers
Researchers & Innovators
Academic researchers
Translational medicine specialists
Clinical investigators
-
Most wound care conferences focus on products or clinical updates.
TRSS is structured around scientific and technological advancement in tissue repair, including:
AI-driven wound diagnostics
Perfusion and oxygenation measurement
Infection detection technologies
Imaging and quantitative wound assessment
Multidisciplinary limb salvage strategies
Evidence-based escalation decision making
The goal is to move beyond traditional wound care education and explore how diagnostics, data, and new technologies are transforming clinical decision making.
-
No. APWCA TRSS and the Advanced Wound Care Summit (AWCS) run alongside each other as part of the same event, but each programme focuses on a different dimension of wound care.
APWCA TRSS explores the science, technology, and innovation shaping the future of tissue repair and limb preservation, including diagnostics, imaging, AI-driven wound assessment, CAMPs, and emerging treatment strategies.
APWCA AWCS focuses on the operational and commercial realities of running wound care services, including practice growth, reimbursement, compliance, and partnerships with industry.
Together, the two programmes provide a comprehensive view of modern wound care - combining the clinical science, emerging technologies, and business strategies that are shaping how wound services will be delivered in the future.

About Kernexus
Kernexus was created to solve a common problem in scientific communications: fragmented delivery. Too often, events, consensus work, and publishing operate separately, limiting the long-term value of the science being shared.
We built Kernexus as an integrated model - bringing together events, medical communications, and publishing under one structure. By managing the full lifecycle, from discussion and evidence generation through to publication and education, we help ensure scientific insight is aligned, credible, and accessible.
At its core, Kernexus exists to turn complex science into shared understanding and meaningful progress in clinical practice.
