Living With Chronic Wounds
With the Living With Chronic Wounds (LWCW) project, EWMA aims to illustrate the experience of the wound patient in a number of recorded interviews with the patient, the health care professional(s) responsible for the treatment and care of the patient, as well as a representative of the health care institution. The most common types of non-healing wounds are represented, among others diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers.
