In 2004 Margo Asimus was one of the first Wound Management-Nurse Practitioners to be authorised to practice in Australia. During her career Margo has mentored other Nurse Practitioners, has been a national president of Wounds Australia and has practiced in advanced wound clinics throughout the hunter area.
Her knowledge in wound management prepared her to become a co-editor of an advanced wound management text along with international guest speaker engagements.
In 2018 Fabia joined the Skin and Wound Care Consultancy (SAWCC) Team as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) for acute/chronic and stomal therapy complexities. Her post graduate studies and advanced skills have been gained from over 20 years of acute surgical nursing in the public health system. By 2015 Fabia’s leadership and advance stomal therapy/wound management knowledge was recognised by awarding her the position of clinical nurse specialist (CNS).
Within the SAWCC team Fabia has been offered the opportunity to receive clinical mentorship in addition to learning the intricacies of working in private practice from an experienced Nurse Practitioner, Margo Asimus. This experience has expanded her skills to competently navigate health systems and advocate for her patients to receive best practice at the right time, in the right place, by the right health care professional.
Fabia continues to be an active participating member of Wounds Australia; Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses Society and Hunter Wound Interest Group. Her commitment to professional development and sharing knowledge with peers has seen her further grow her career to become a clinical nurse consultant (CNC)
Her commitment to improving care and gaining positive outcomes for patients suffering from acute/chronic wounds or stomal/continence complexities has led Fabia to where she is today, working as a CNC and as the proud new owner of Skin and Wound Care Consultancy.
In 2021 Fabia took ownership of Skin and Wound Consultancy.
