Tissue viability research must be encouraged.

As we approach Wounds UK 2003 (11th and 12th November, Harrogate) it seems timely to focus on the contribution researchers make to the field of tissue viability. The conference will feature 35 free papers and over 70 posters. By far and away the largest group contributing to these presentations are nurses. There are also a large number of papers from a small number of research centres. We are lucky that the UK has such an active research community and it is hoped that this community continues to grow in not only numbers but also quality. Both of these facts can be seen as either positive or negative depending on the stance you adopt.
