Jacky Edwards

Ingenium Wound Consultancy Ltd and Northern Burn Care Network

Independent Nurse Consultant and Lead Nurse

Jacky has worked in burn care since 1987 and throughout this has been involved in surgical wound management through both burns and plastic surgery.

In 2012, she was Nursing Times Nurse of the Year for the development of the Burns Outreach Service which has now been replicated across many burns services and was the only Consultant Nurse in Burns in the UK. She is currently the Lead Nurse for the Northern Burn Care Network.

In terms of surgical wounds she was previously involved in chairing the group that wrote the NWCSP Surgical Wound Recommendations and following her decision to retire in August 2022, she recommenced work with the NWCSP and has taken the recommendations in a completely different direction. The programme finished in March 2025, but during her time there Jacky was able to publish the Recommendations for Prevention and Management of Surgical Wound Complications as well as developing a range of both wound infection and surgical wound education resources.

She continues to be very involved in surgical wound complications as well as championing the need for education in this area.
