Meet the

Council

The Council is the main deciding body of EWMA. All members of EWMA have the opportunity to candidate for Council at the annual election. 

The EWMA Council is composed of the EWMA Executive Committee (elected from and by the EWMA Council) and council members from across Europe. Council members are elected by the individual members of EWMA or by the Cooperating Organisations Board members. The EWMA Council also includes a member elected by our international partners, Wounds Australia and AAWC, US.
