EWMA Document on Antimicrobials
This document will meet the on-going
discussion across Europe concerning
the issues and controversies of the use
of antimicrobials in wound treatment.
The document will be launched at
the EWMA 2013 Conference.
Clinical study guidelines
on non healing wounds
The guidelines will include a checklist with relevant
research questions, frequent mistakes and links
to other relevant sources of information. With these
guidelines the POG group aims to support the
recommendations included in the 2010 POG
document on evidence and outcomes:
Outcomes in controlled and comparative
studies on non healing wounds
– Recommendations to improve quality of
evidence in wound management
Upcoming projects in 2014:
Home Care – Wound Care and Multidisciplinary Treatment
Home Care – Wound Care will outline a list of recommendations
for the treatment of patients with wounds in their
own homes. The project is an attempt to anticipate the
future challenges of different European health care systems
due to demographic and public health developments.
The Multidisciplinary Treatment project will
promote the use of the multidisciplinary
approach to wound care as well as identified
any current challenges and barriers in
the use of multidisciplinary teams.
Both projects are expected to be launched at the EWMA 2014 Conference in Madrid.
