GUEST SESSION DESCRIPTIONS<br />
Every year EWMA invites different organisations to present a guest session at the EWMA Conference. This<br />
serves to increase awareness and also to allow Conference <strong>part</strong>icipants learn more about activities relating<br />
to, but not necessarily primarily focused on, wound healing and management. It also serves to increase<br />
scientific cooperation and networking with organisations active in thematic issues related to wound healing<br />
and management.<br />
A number of EWMA <strong>part</strong>ner organisations will be <strong>part</strong> of the EWMA 2015 programme, in which the<br />
following guest sessions will take place:<br />
