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.
