Purpose of Training

Chronic wound care is a challenging process for patients, their relatives and healthcare professionals who provide treatment. There has been an increase in diabetes and obesity patients in the world and in Turkey in recent years; The average human lifespan is getting longer and the incidence of chronic wounds is increasing in parallel with these changes. Worldwide, chronic wound care principles are often not included in medical and nursing education curricula. The need for wound care specialists is increasing exponentially all over the world and especially in our country.

In this context; TÜV Rheinhard certified “ICW Wound Expert” program was created in cooperation with the German ICW Association (Initiative Chronishe Wunde), one of Europe's leading wound associations, Paul HARTMANN and Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University, with the aim of educating our country's healthcare professionals about current chronic wound care and the care of wound patients.
