Wound Care UnWRapped with Hailey Donnelly
Could nutrition be the missing ingredient in wound healing?
In this episode of Wound Care UnWRapped, Hayley Ryan is joined by Dr. Hailey Donnelly, Accredited Practising Dietitian and postdoctoral researcher at Monash University and the University of Newcastle, to explore the latest evidence on nutrition and wound healing. Together they unpack why protein is only part of the picture, the importance of a food-first approach, and how clinicians can better identify nutritional risk to improve patient outcomes.
From diabetic foot ulcers and malnutrition screening to L-arginine, hydration and practical dietary advice, this conversation challenges common misconceptions and provides simple, evidence-based strategies that every clinician can apply in practice.
Wound Care UnWRapped is a podcast by Hayley Ryan, nationally recognised Clinical Nurse Consultant and the Founder and Director of WoundRescue. The podcast peels back the layers of wound care and addresses the questions that too often go unspoken. Hayley brings together a diverse range of voices from across the field (clinicians, researchers, educators, industry leaders, innovators and policy makers) who share their expertise, experiences and perspectives. The goal is to uncover what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.
