EUROPEAN PRESSURE ULCER ADVISORY PANEL


A "European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel" has been created to lead and support all European countries in the efforts to prevent and treat pressure ulcers. At its inaugural meeting in London in December 1996, which included experts from many European countries, the group of over twenty agreed their mission statement and the initial Executive Board and Trustees.

The mission statement reads:

"to provide the relief of persons suffering from or at risk of pressure ulcers, in particular through research and the education of the public"

NPUAP - EPUAP Seeking Stakeholders to Review Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Treatment Guidelines.

NPUAP and EPUAP have been working on developing evidence-based, international pressure ulcer prevention and treatment guidelines over the past two years. It is anticipated that in early 2008 a draft of them will be available for review and input from stakeholders, including wound care health professionals and organizations concerned with pressure ulcer care.

If you or your organization is interested in becoming a stakeholder to review and provide input into these guidelines, you are encouraged to go to our pressure ulcer guidelines site and register as a stakeholder. When the guidelines are ready for review, you will be contacted that they are available online for your review and input.

If you are interested in receiving information about the EPUAP please email Dr George Cherry at EPUAP@aol.com
