Conferences

TVCS organise and attend a number of conferences each year.

Our Directors Sylvie Hampton and Fiona Collins speak and attend many conferences on wound care and seating assessments. To find out where and when they are speaking, please visit their pages using the links above.

Sylvie Hampton together with Lorraine Grothier, a Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist from the Mid Essex PCT, hosted a conference in September 2010 called Prove It. This conference brought together a number of experts from the UK to debate the value of RCT's. This was a 2 day independent wound care conference which included:

• Examining the evidence in wound care and how it informs practice, with presentations by tissue viability experts from across the UK.
• A debate on the types of evidence available and questioning are randomised controlled trials the real gold standard?
