Across Wales there are a number of specialist tissue viability nurses and these individuals are members of the All Wales Tissue Viability Nurses Forum (AWTVNF). While providing a platform for sharing information and experience they foster collaborative working between AWTVNF members and other healthcare organisations, communities and individuals. The AWTVNF provide strategic guidance to facilitate a quality tissue viability service throughout Wales.
The idea of an All Wales tissue viability nurse group was generated following a formal meeting of the South Wales Tissue Viability Group with Rosemary Kennedy then Chief Nurse for Wales. Following informal discussion between tissue viability nurses from North and South Wales, the All Wales Tissue Viability Nurse Forum was formed in September 2003.
