Over the past several years, Iceland has emerged as a vibrant medical and scientific innovation center, with Kerecis at the forefront of wound healing and tissue repair.
The Northern Lights Workshop is a scientific educational program designed to advance clinical knowledge and foster peer-to-peer exchange related to wound care, surgical care, burn management, tissue repair, and the use of advanced wound care technologies.
As Kerecis and Coloplast continue to expand their portfolio of wound and tissue repair solutions, these workshops now bring together healthcare professionals from a broad range of specialties and care settings. Participants gain insights from real-world clinical experiences, discuss evidence-based approaches to patient care, and collaborate with peers committed to advancing outcomes for patients with complex wounds and tissue defects.
Healthcare professionals interested in attending must meet the eligibility requirements below and submit one clinically relevant, on-label case presentation. Case series will not be accepted. The submission must be a complete, start-to-finish case showcasing the use of Kerecis and/or Coloplast’s Advanced Wound Dressing products. The PowerPoint submission should clearly and concisely illustrate the clinical course, include high-quality images throughout, and contain at least one product application photograph.
A blinded committee of healthcare professionals will evaluate all case submissions based on scientific value, completeness, novelty, and clinical relevance. The highest‑scoring submissions will receive the Aurora Clinical Excellence Recognition and an invitation to attend the educational workshop in Iceland. Case submissions are specific to the workshop for which they are submitted; acceptance to one workshop does not qualify an applicant for attendance at another.
These invitation-only educational workshops provide a collegial environment for participants to present clinical cases, exchange scientific insights, and discuss evidence-based practices. Interactive sessions and collaborative focus groups further promote peer-to-peer learning and the sharing of expertise across specialties and care settings.
