February Journal Club

Firstly, congrats to everyone who has finished CST interviews. Its not to much longer before you find out the good news (fingers crossed). Anyway, I have decided to choose a systematic review on Negative pressure wound therapy ("Vac dressings") for this month's journal club. I find this subject incredibly interesting and have been working on a review of my own after being inspired by Dr Paul Liu who was the Chief of Plastics at Rhode Island Hospital where I did my placement last summer. As always, the article details are below and I will put up my comments in the next few days. I would be interested in what every one else thinks.
