The Veterinary Wound Healing Association was established after the first scientific meeting held at the Royal Veterinary College in December 1996.The Association has the following aims:
- To promote education and research into the scientific basis and the clinical management of wounds of whatever aetiology in the veterinary sciences.
- To establish training courses together with national and international conferences to discuss and promote aspects of wound healing research.
The VWHA is registered as a charity by the Charity Commission of England and Wales. Registered Charity Number 1090458
Next year’s VWHA conference will be held on March 26-27th 2025 in Barcelona Spain in association with EWMA-GNEAUPP
in collaboration with AVEE and AVEPA and our sponsors
The theme is:
“Practical approach of traumatic wounds in horses and small animals: How to promote healing and reduce antimicrobial resistance”
This year we focus on the common issues with acute and chronic wounds in our equine and small animal patients. There will be lectures interesting for both equine and small animal veterinarians, because there are many similarities in the approach of wounds in large and small animals. But there are differences between the species and we highlight them as well.
There will be two days packed with lectures on wounds and challenges we all encounter in everyday veterinary practice
Join the Veterinary Wound Healing Association’s congress to learn about the practical approach to optimise wound treatment. Enjoy the program!
Call for abstracts!
Similar to other years, we have organised a free communication session which will be held on Thursday March 27th. Brand new research about a variety of subjects in the field of veterinary wounds and wound management will be presented.
