Abstract
The subject of evidence based practice (EBP) is not new in all aspects of clinical practice including wound healing, but in the case of wounds it has a long way to go to provide caregivers in everyday practice with appropriate guidance. This has been the subject of several of my editorials in recent times and as such provoked some discussion around this arena. The World Union meeting in Toronto approaches this subject as the mainstay of the whole programme in a different way. Exciting, provocative and educational certainly spring to mind when considering implementing EBP into wound practice and this is one of the challenges/opportunities (you choose!) of the congress. The focus of the congress is not to go over old ground regarding evidence definition and process, but rather the provision of the information and tools necessary to aid its integration into practice. There will also be an opportunity to become involved in the ongoing process of evidence gathering, appraisal and presentation – look out for announcements at the congress and subsequently in a future News & Views within this journal. Implementing best practices, that is supported by evidence, is a growing requirement of our healthcare systems on a global basis. It is an ongoing challenge for most of us in our daily lives. The World Union of Wound Healing Societies continues to develop and disseminate best practice documentation through its collaboration with its industry partners. Toronto 2008 will see the launch of many important tools which will then be available to all helping the further development of this important approach to care. All of these tools have resulted from global approaches to a common problem. Fitting with the theme of the conference the resulting products come as one common voice. Let’s hope they don’t fall on deaf ears! If you are attending Toronto 2008, then be sure to collect your personal copy of all of the materials available – many will be distributed through the congress industrial sponsors, publishing partners, supporting and hosting associations and the World Union itself. If you are unable to attend the congress, all of the materials will be further disseminated post congress, again through the help of the congress partnering organizations – so be sure to look out for these important tools. The meeting will deliver one strong global message that of evidence, evidence and more evidence is required in this area but most importantly will focus on its implementation into practice. There is a challenge for all don’t just accept new findings consider becoming part of its development. If you are involved in any way shape or form in clinical research or trials – PUBLISH your work ensuring it can be considered as part of the emerging evidence for our practice. As Editor of the International Wound Journal I would encourage you to consider publishing your findings on our Medline listed journal. Submissions can be made through submissions@internationalwoundjournal.com. In particular if you are presenting some of your research findings at the congress then please consider submitting it to the IWJ post conference. The Congress in Toronto will see the launch of an important evidence web-based tool, which will help caregivers access, understand and implement the evidence base available for wound care. Look out for this new and exciting World Union product that will be freely available to all caregivers globally and will be the beginning of a centralized evidence based initiative to facilitate the global development of a more appropriate ‘evidence based medicine’ for wound care.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
