Brenda Ramstadius is a registered nurse who has been working as a Clinical Nurse Consultant in wound care since 1989 in the Illawarra Area Health Service. She has a passionate interest in pressure ulcer prevention, developing the "Ramstadius" Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment and Intervention Tool, to help with easy, accurate assessment of the "at risk" person.

Brenda has held positions at national and state level on developing pressure ulcer prevention guidelines and has lectured extensively on wound care all over NSW for the NSW College of Nursing, University of Sydney, TAFE NSW and the Wound Care Association of NSW Inc for the Associations' sponsored country education days. Whilst on the Association Brenda has held the following positions:

Brenda will also be remembered for the call sign at the end of her President's Reports in the Associations' biannual newsletter "Epicare" - "good luck out there trying to heal those easy and not so easily healed wounds" I am sure everyone can relate to this as sometimes it is not that easy at effecting healing in some wounds.
