EHOB is pleased to announce its affiliation as a corporate sponsor of the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP). The EPUAP was created to lead and support all European countries in the efforts to prevent and treat pressure ulcers. At its inaugural meeting in London in December 1996, which included experts from many European countries, the group of over twenty agreed their mission statement and the initial Executive Board and Trustees.

A major undertaking in 2007 has been the collaboration with the US National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel on new evidence based clinical practice guidelines. This is a major opportunity to enhance the quality of pressure ulcer care and is certainly the biggest project that the EPUAP has undertaken since its foundation, with the new guideline available in 2008.

EHOB is also a member of the US National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel.
