How EWMA works with wound centres

EWMA is dedicated to supporting the development of high-quality wound care across Europe. Through two key initiatives — the EWMA Wound Centre Directory and the EWMA Wound Centre Endorsement Programme  EWMA collaborates with wound centres to improve patient care, promote professional development, and foster international knowledge sharing.

The EWMA Wound Centre Directory, which is currently being developed, will provide a comprehensive overview of wound care centres. This resource aims to assist patients seeking specialized wound care and to guide healthcare professionals in identifying centres that offer training or accept visitors for educational purposes.

The EWMA Wound Centre Endorsement Programme recognizes centres that meet high EWMA standards in wound management. Its overarching goal is to support multidisciplinary teamwork and evidence-based wound management. Endorsed wound centres has always undergone a thorough evaluation visit by an EWMA representative to claim their endorsement. 

Together, these initiatives aims to strengthen the quality and accessibility of wound care across Europe.

EWMA Wound Centre Directory

EWMA Wound Centre Directory – A Key Resource for Healthcare Professionals and Patients

With a start in Autumn 2024, EWMA is working to establish the EWMA Wound Centre Directory. The aim is to develop the directory into a comprehensive resource intended to support healthcare professionals in expanding their network, engaging in training, and exploring research collaboration. The directory will also assist patients in finding specialised wound care centres across Europe.

The wound centres included in this directory are a self-reported and EWMA is not systematically searching all European wound centres. Are you in doubt whether you centre can be defined as a wound centre and included in the directory? Please read our definition here

Please note that EWMA is not accountable for the correctness of the information shared by the wound centres in the EWMA Directory, as the inclusion in the directory is not subject to an approval procedure. EWMA is not responsible for the care provided in the wound centres.

For a list of centres which have been evaluated and endorsed by EWMA, please see the list of wound centres endorsed by EWMA
