EWMA and Wounds Australia have developed this document, aiming to highlight some of the barriers and facilitators related to implementation of VLU guidelines as well as provide clinical practice statements to overcome these and “fill the gaps” currently not covered by the majority of  available guidelines.

The expert working committee responsible for this document is composed of health care professionals with different professional backgrounds and nationalities, to cover all aspects of VLU management and develop a document that takes the organisational differences across countries into consideration.

The document will be published online by Journal of Woundcare in June 2016 but can already now be downloaded free of charge here
