The Tissue Viability Society was formed in 1981 to:

'disseminate information, promote research and increase awareness of all aspects of good clinical practice in wound prevention and management'

We want to provide expertise in wound management to all health care professionals involved with tissue viability

Welcome to the TVS web-site.

The TVS always strives to keep members aware of educational opportunities relevant to the interests of this Society.  We have added two one-day conferences to our events list - one on September 14th (Avoidable pressure ulcers) and the second on November 9th (Nurse clinics 2010).  Please consider attending one or both of these events.

The Welsh Wound Network (www.welshwoundnetwork.org) has produced its first factsheet setting out the numbers, costs and consequences of pressure ulcers. This occasional series will provide individuals and manufacturers with current information to include in publications and funding applications. The Welsh Wound Network is delighted to make this first factsheet available to TVS members

The Tissue Viability Society continues to host popular free regional study days around the UK.
The informative lectures are delivered by experts in tissue viability and supported by a small company exhibition.
The historical format has been two half day sessions with the focus on pressure ulcer prevention and wound assessment but this can be tailored to meet local needs and cover any aspect of tissue viability.
TVS organise everything.   

Please contact Maureen Benbow maureen.benbow@btinternet.com to book a study day
