This year’s theme, Skin+ : Beyond Wounds, Towards Holistic Healing, highlights the vital role of skin health in shaping effective, holistic care. The conference moves beyond wound-focused treatment to explore prevention, early detection, skin integrity and the management of complex skin conditions — empowering healthcare professionals to recognise risks earlier, make informed clinical decisions and improve patient outcomes.
Leading local and international experts will share the latest evidence, innovations and practical strategies that can be translated into everyday practice. Through engaging presentations, interactive workshops and meaningful discussions, participants will gain fresh perspectives and actionable insights to strengthen skin health management and deliver better care for every patient.
Together, let's ...
See beyond wound closure and champion skin health at every stage of care.
Build capability in prevention, early detection and evidence-based management.
Work together to improve outcomes through holistic, person-centred skin and wound care.

Managing the many facets of wound care in our elderly population with autoimmune blistering diseases
A/Prof Nisha Su Yien Subash Chandran
Autoimmune blistering diseases can present complex wound care challenges in older adults. This session explores a practical, holistic approach to managing fragile skin, blisters and wounds—from assessment and blister care to dressing selection, symptom management and skin protection. Discover how thoughtful wound care and multidisciplinary collaboration can improve comfort, preserve skin integrity and support better outcomes for our elderly patients
Plenary

Advancing Skincare through Research, Innovation and Enterprise
A/Prof Tey Hong Liang
Skin disorders have risen steadily over the past decade, driven in part by global population ageing and the growing burden of chronic skin disease. These conditions impose significant morbidity, healthcare costs, and unmet clinical needs that are not adequately addressed by conventional therapies alone. This session explores how an integrated pathway of research, innovation, and enterprise-building can accelerate the translation of scientific discovery into tangible clinical solutions. Drawing on a range of needs-based and research-derived products, it will illustrate how mechanistic insights, innovation, and enterprise-building converge to advance patient-centred therapies. Examples in itch, inflammation and infection management will highlight the development of novel formulations, devices, and drug-based approaches. Together, these cases demonstrate how a structured research-innovation-enterprise ecosystem can meaningfully advance skin care and improve patient and population outcomes at scale.
