Education in Wound Management in Europe with a Special Focus on the Danish Model
1Copenhagen Wound Healing Center, Department of Dermatology, Bispebjerg University Hospital , Copenhagen, Denmark .
Background:
Standardized education and training programs are fundamental for the establishment of a healthcare structure within wound management.
The Problem:
Presently, however, wound healing education is only included to a minor degree, in the education of nurses and medical doctors, and there is no consensus in Europe on the minimum education program needed to be an educated expert in handling wound patients.
Clinical Care Relevance:
In this article, educational initiatives and models for education of medical doctors and nurses in Europe and especially in Denmark are described.
Conclusion:
The goal for the future should be to achieve a general consensus on the minimal education program, and in Europe this could be achieved as a collaboration between the Educational program of European Wound Management Association (EWMA and national programs).
