here are numerous reasons why healthcare professionals who are passionate about wound care would benefit by participating at the EWMA 2024 Conference in London,” states Sarah Gardner, Society of Tissue Viability chair, and Kirsi Isoherranen, president of the European Wound Management Association (EWMA). The Society of Tissue Viability has partnered with EWMA for its annual and globally anticipated wound management conference. In this double interview, they shed light on the top reasons why you should register right away.
What are the three best reasons to attend the EWMA 2024 conference? Kirsi Isoherranen: As a participant, you’ll get a unique and comprehensive overview of the latest research and best practices in wound management. In 2023, the conference had more than 200 sessions to choose from and a total of 1,389 scientific presentations over the three days, and we intend to reach the same number of sessions for EWMA 2024 in London. The sheer scale and range of the conference give participants a great opportunity for individual customising. You can tailor your programme exactly as you want it based on your interests, professional background and preferred way of learning. EWMA 2024 offers cutting-edge knowledge and recommendations on wound management. You can expect sessions on the topics of skin tears, oncological treatments, pain, burns, hidradenitis suppurativa, patient liaisons, wound assessment and diagnosis and compression therapy, or more technological aspects, like AI and robotics in wound care. These will be presented as a mix of workshops, interactive sessions, focus sessions, e-poster sessions and high-profile keynote lectures. Sarah Gardner: As a participant, you’ll also have an opportunity to explore the latest advancements in wound management by visiting the conference’s exhibition area. To help improve your wound care skillset, 150 leading industry exhibitors in wound management will stand ready to showcase state-of- the-art innovations, including equipment, devices and

dressings. Additionally, you can attend several industry symposia, organised by the companies, with presentations on new techniques and innovations. From my experience, trying to keep updated on new approaches to wound care can be challenging when we are all so busy. Having access to all of these companies under one roof is really valuable, and you leave the conference feeling inspired and better informed. SG and KI: In our experience, the inclusive atmosphere at EWMA conferences always facilitates genuine knowledge and expertise exchange among participants. Because of this, networking opportunities might be the greatest benefit for healthcare professionals who participate in EWMA 2024. It’s a natural part of the conference experience to meet your peers from all around the globe, and in my experience, it can be in the most unexpected situations that you end up having the most interesting conversations. We think that staying updated on your wound management skillset should also be a fun and meaningful experience, and hopefully you will make new friends, colleagues and contacts as a EWMA 2024 participant.
Could you elaborate on the theme for EWMA 2024: ‘Collaborative and sustainable wound care: making everyone’s contribution count’? KI: We decided on this theme because it highlights the necessity of coming together across the conventional boundaries of the wound care field. Worldwide, we agree that the delivery of safe high- quality healthcare depends on sharing best practices through guidelines and promoting evidence-based practice. And, as we see it, delivering this standard requires shared learning, research and innovation among professionals from around the world. To achieve excellence in wound care, there is a need for greater international collaboration and local action to support the health of populations and nations. This is what the 2024 EWMA conference aims to facilitate. We’ll focus on how global collaboration and making everyone’s contribution
