In this double interview, they together shed light on the top reasons why you should register right away.

Q: What do you think are the 3 best reasons to attend the
EWMA-GNEAUPP 2025 conference?

Reason 1: Newest research and knowledge – tailor your unique
programme


Kirsi Isoherranen, EWMA President:

EWMA-GNEAUPP 2025 offers cutting-edge knowledge and recommendations on wound management.

As a participant, you’ll get a unique and comprehensive overview of the latest research and best practices in wound management.

The sheer scale and range of the conference programme gives participants a great
opportunity for individual customising. You can tailor your programme exactly as you want it based on your interests, professional background and preferred way of learning.

At the EWMA-GNEAUPP 2025 Conference you can experience an extensive programme
with more than 250 sessions focusing on a variety of topics such as:

– Leg oedema
– Pressure ulcers
– Prevention and treatment of post-operative complications in children and adults

– and much more…

The topics will be presented in different session types from workshops, interactive
sessions, focus sessions to panel debates, e-poster sessions and high-profile keynote
lectures.

Reason 2: Large exhibition – discover cutting-edge innovations in wound management

Kirsi Isoherranen, EWMA President:
As a participant, you’ll have an opportunity to explore the latest advancements in wound management by visiting the conference’s exhibition area.

From my experience, trying to keep updated on new approaches to wound care can be challenging when we are all so busy. Having access to all of these
companies under one roof is really valuable, and you leave the conference feeling inspired and better informed.

150+ leading industry exhibitors in wound management will be ready to showcase state-of-the-art innovations, including equipment, devices and dressings. Additionally, you can attend several industry symposia, organised by the companies, with presentations on new techniques and innovations.

Reason 3: Great networking opportunities – get to know your colleagues!

Kirsi Isoherranen, EWMA President:

Staying updated on your wound management skillset should also be a fun and meaningful experience, and hopefully you will make new friends, colleagues and contacts during the conference in Barcelona.

In our experience, the inclusive atmosphere at the conferences always facilitates genuine knowledge and expertise exchange among participants. It’s a natural part of the conference experience to meet your peers from all around the globe, and in my personal experience, it can be in the most unexpected situations that you end up having the most interesting conversations.

Because of this, networking opportunities might be the greatest benefit for healthcare professionals who participate in EWMA-GNEAUPP 2025.

Q: Could you explain the theme of the conference:
“Advancing towards excellence in wound treatment by breaking down borders and silos”?

J. Javier Soldevilla Agreda, GNEAUPP President:

The conference will explore the advancement of knowledge across all factors involved in patient wound care, striving toward excellence backed by the highest quality scientific evidence.

The theme reflects the path that our scientific societies, the organisers behind this great event, have followed in over thirty years of dedication and mark what I believe is the world’s most important wound care event in 2025.

Q: Why has Spain and Barcelona been chosen as the
conference destination for 2025?

J. Javier Soldevilla Agreda, GNEAUPP President:

Barcelona is one of our most open and welcoming cities, embodying beauty and modernism in every sense.

Additionally, Spain has a longstanding and respected history in wound care within the professional, clinical, academic, and research communities—expertise we’re eager to share with the world.

Q: Why did GNEAUPP decide to partner with EWMA for this
conference?

J. Javier Soldevilla Agreda, GNEAUPP President:

Following our previous successful collaborations with EWMA in Spain- in 2002 in Granada and 2014 in Madrid – we aimed to create a national landmark event in partnership with EWMA.

EWMA is globally recognized for its advancement, reputation, and scientific contributions, establishing it as the leading wound management association worldwide. This is why we chose to collaborate with EWMA for this conference.

Q: What can you say to onvince those who are still undecided about attending the conference?

Kirsi Isoherranen, EWMA President:

The scale of this conference, compared to other wound care conferences, is immense,
but don’t let this put you off!

With size comes opportunity and choice. All sessions are independent of commercial
interest, and we have a line-up of respected and extremely credible speakers. Whether
you’re a nurse, podiatrist, therapist, doctor, educator, researcher, or supplier the
EWMA-GNEAUPP 2025 Conference will inspire you and you’ll leave with new ideas and
new friends!
