EWMA 2016 - European Wound Management Association Conference

It is a great pleasure to announce the 26th conference of European Wound Management Association, EWMA 2016. The conference is organised in cooperation with the Initiative Chronische Wunden e.V. (ICW) and the collaboration of German-speaking wound associations WundD·A·CH.

The conference theme is:
PATIENTS. WOUNDS. RIGHTS.

The patient is more than a person with a wound. He/she is a human being with needs and requirements; and rights! According to the international declaration of human rights, everyone has the right to health, implying that prevention and treatment of non-healing wounds must be available to everyone. Thus, securing patients’ Quality of Life is a political responsibility as well as a clinical one. Patients’ access to wound care requires the collaboration of patients, professionals and policy makers. It is a corner stone of good practice in wound management and a fundamental objective of the interdisciplinary team approach.
