Healthcare experts will gather to discuss cutting-edge techniques for managing chronic wounds from diabetes

COIA to Host International Conference on Chronic Wounds and Pressure Ulcers

Fourth Edition Set for October 22-23 at Andorra la Vella Congress Centre

Andorra la Vella will host the fourth International Days on Chronic Wounds and Pressure Ulcers on October 22 and 23, organised by the Col·legi Oficial d’Infermeres i Infermers d’Andorra (COIA).

The event will take place at the Centre de Congressos in Andorra la Vella, bringing together healthcare professionals and leading experts to discuss prevention and treatment strategies. Focused on innovation and advanced care techniques, the conference aims to encourage knowledge sharing and highlight recent developments in managing these conditions.

Sessions will feature lectures, presentations, and interactive spaces designed for nurses and other specialists seeking to update their skills and enhance patient care. Organisers emphasise the vital role of nursing staff in early detection, prevention, and therapy for these injuries.

Chronic wounds affect the skin and underlying tissues, healing slowly over weeks or months due to factors like poor circulation, diabetes, or other illnesses. Pressure ulcers, often called bedsores, develop from sustained pressure on body areas, particularly among those with limited mobility who spend extended periods in bed or seated. Effective prevention and proper management remain essential to support recovery.

The programme underscores nursing contributions and fosters exchanges with international peers on best practices. Registrations are now open, with details on the agenda, speakers, and participation available through COIA.
