About the series

A New Regional Platform for Global Wound Care Engagement

As part of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies mission to improve wound care globally through collaboration, education and evidence-based practice, WUWHS is launching a new Regional Congress Series in 2027.

Building on the long-standing success of WUWHS global congresses, these new regional events provide tailored scientific and commercial engagement opportunities aligned to local healthcare systems, regulatory environments and market dynamics.

  • Improve accessibility for healthcare professionals unable to attend global congresses.
  • Increase regional participation and collaboration.
  • Support local and regional wound care societies.
  • Create more frequent engagement opportunities for industry partners.
  • Deliver education tailored to regional healthcare challenges and opportunities.

President's message

Welcome from World Union Wound Healing Society Regional Events

"While our global congress will continue to lead the way in delivering our overarching vision, these new regional congresses allow us to tailor content to more specific regulatory, cultural and commercial dynamics. Crucially, these events will improve accessibility and participation, enabling more clinicians, policy-makers and business leaders to engage, network and contribute."
