Evidence over opinion
The questions shaping pressure ulcer care
The Summit will critically examine areas in which clinical practice, scientific understanding and research continue to evolve.
Should our understanding of pressure ulcer etiology be reconsidered?
Are some deep tissue injuries driven primarily by vascular compromise rather than external pressure?
What does the evidence demonstrate about prophylactic foam dressings?
How can risk stratification, including AI, support pressure ulcer prevention?
How should clinical trials and real-world studies shape future pressure ulcer care?
