J Wound Care. 2017 Dec 1;26(Sup12):S1-S27. doi: 10.12968/jowc.2017.26.Sup12.S1.

Abstract

The European Wound Management Association (EWMA) has just finalised the first curriculum in a series of several curricula intended for use in levels 5-7 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF)1. The aim of these is to support a common approach to post-registration qualification in wound management for nurses across Europe. EWMA hopes and will work towards a close collaboration with European nurse organisations as well as educational institutions to implement these common curricula.
