We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions in our 2 surveys Interested in the procurement of products and therapies? Could you help us by taking a few minutes to complete our survey about the procurement of wound care products and therapies and the evidence for their use? We are interested in hearing your opinions on the subjects and The Society of Tissue Viability is always keen to ensure the views of both our members and other healthcare professionals within wound care are represented in a clear and unbiased way. Thank you for your help Find out more and take the survey Are you a newly qualified (1 year and under) HCP? As a newly qualified Healthcare Professional, we know this can be a very challenging and exciting time so thank you for taking 5 minutes to share your thoughts with us. Wound prevention & management can form a significant part of some HCP roles and many newly qualified clinicians feel unprepared to tackle this diverse and sometimes complicated subject unsupervised. Anecdotally, it has been suggested to us that the level of wound prevention & management education delivered to pre-registration HCPs is insufficient and that this is why newly qualified clinicians may feel this way. The Society wants to explore this further and understand how the level of education correlates with the level of preparedness and confidence newly qualified HCPs have when they begin to practice.   From this survey we can hopefully gather data and information that will provide evidence to support (or dismiss) this idea. Thank you for your help Find out more and take the survey Are you interested in medical research that matters to patients and the NHS?
