EWMA and the International Compression Club (ICC) in collaboration are proud to announce a sequence of seminars on the subject of Leg Ulceration and Compression.
The ICC continuously argues that compression therapy is an extremely effective treatment modality, the efficacy of which is frequently underestimated or neglected. There are important areas in medicine in which compression therapy could be beneficial to patients but is not used due to lack of knowledge of the prescribers. Likewise, there are countries in which compression therapy has no tradition and is unknown to patients, who could profit from it.
In addition EWMA has in 2007 initiated and since supported and contributed to the implementation of the Central & Eastern European Leg Ulcer Project (LUP) by project teams and wound associations in Slovenia, Poland and the Czech Republic. Through a combination of improved training of nurses and physicians and access to knowledge and modern materials, in particular for compression therapy, the project has generated clear results in terms of improved treatment and healing of leg ulcers.The seminars will take place in three capital cities situated along the Danube River and the seminars should been seen as a first step in implementing guidelines for leg ulcer and compression treatment.
The seminars were organised in corporation with the local EWMA Cooperating Organisations
