The symposium "How can shared care impact lower leg ulceration healing?" brings together healthcare professionals to explore the integration of shared care in the treatment of lower leg ulcers. Experts including Jacqui Fletcher and Dr. Gabriela Illes will discuss the importance of early intervention, patient care consistency, and innovative healing pathways without the use of antibiotics.
Through theory and practice, including insights from Bernadette McGlynn, Jackie Dark, and Profesor Amit Gefen, the symposium aims to enhance patient quality of life by promoting evidence-based care pathway implementation and evaluating the benefits of sNPWT under compression in improving patient healing outcomes.
