Very proud of doctoral student Marta Casals for the oral communication she presented at the XIII Symposium on pressure ulcers and chronic wounds organized by GNEAUPP (National Group for the Study and Advice of Pressure Ulcers and Chronic Wounds), celebrated in Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, on November 10-12, 2021.

Marta Casals presented the advances of her doctoral thesis entitled “Effectiveness and adherence to an educational program for patients with wounds in lower limbs treated in a clinical wound unit.” (1)

This project aims to increase knowledge about the pathologies and self-care of patients treated in the Wound Clinical Unit of the Hospital Universitari de la Santa Creu de Vic in order to reduce the number of recurrences and improve their quality of life related to health.

Congratulations Marta and we encourage you to continue developing your doctoral thesis!
