The Implementation Gap: Why Evidence-Based Wound Care Still Isn't Standard Practice with Michelle Barakat-Johnson


Listen Later

In this episode, Hayley sits down with Professor Michelle Barakat-Johnson, Joint Clinical Professor of Wound Care and Skin Integrity, Director of the Tissue Repair Institute, and Lead for Skin Integrity and Wound Care across Sydney Local Health District and the University of Sydney.

Together, they unpack one of wound care’s biggest challenges: closing the gap between evidence and implementation in wound care.

They explore why education alone isn’t enough, the barriers preventing evidence-based practice, the role of leadership and decision-making in driving change, and how clinicians can turn knowledge into meaningful improvements in patient outcomes. They also discuss the future of wound care, from implementation science and data-driven improvement to artificial intelligence and the Wound Care Command Centre.
