DEAR PARTICIPANT<br />
We are pleased to welcome you to the 25th Conference of<br />
the European Wound Management Association. The conference<br />
is organised in cooperation with the Tissue Viability<br />
Society (TVS) and also marks the 35th anniversary of the<br />
founding of TVS.<br />
EWMA 2015 is dedicated to sharing, debating with, and<br />
educating <strong>part</strong>icipants on the latest knowledge and developments<br />
in wound management.<br />
During the three exciting conference days, <strong>part</strong>icipants will<br />
experience a diverse programme that includes keynote<br />
sessions, free paper sessions, workshops, full-day<br />
streams, guest sessions, and sponsored satellite symposia.<br />
The conference theme is:<br />
WOUND CARE – SHAPING THE FUTURE<br />
A PATIENT, PROFESSIONAL, PROVIDER AND PAYER<br />
PERSPECTIVE<br />
Interdisciplinary teamwork and collaboration between<br />
patients, professionals, and policy makers is essential for<br />
facilitating good practice and providing continuity of care.<br />
This will be even more important in the future as healthcare<br />
systems throughout Europe have to cope with<br />
increasing pressure to demonstrate efficient and costeffective<br />
use of resources to optimise wound care with the<br />
help of innovative procedures and practices. It is imperative<br />
that all these perspectives are considered if we are to<br />
realise the goal of successful wound management.<br />
In addition to the scientific aspects of the conference, we<br />
hope you will enjoy the capital of Britain with its dynamic,<br />
urban, and international environment.<br />
A warm welcome to London!<br />
