Section C Ob'ectives and activities The objectives for which the Society is established are lo promote leaming and advance public education in the study of tissue viability and do all such things as may be conducive to improve standards in lissue viability 28 a multi-profession81 activity. Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document All Trustees are aware of the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission 8nd have had regard to this when making decisions to undertake aclivities. The first part of the Society's year was dominated as always by the build- up to our annual conference which, in 2023, was held in Peterborough. Once again organisers had to ¢ontend with forces outside their control, with escalating NHS Strikes and public sector disruption threatening lo prevent delegates allending. Despite these concerns, 811 involved were in complete agreement lo go ahead come what may and, fortunately, this confidence was justified as the Society's key event of the year went ahead without a hitch and was well attended. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public beneflt In relation to these ob5ects For the 2023 Pelerborough conference our Education Programme Facilitalor developed a new streamlined programme, offering a simpler choice of sessions for delegates and allowing more lime for exhibition viewing during breaks. New workshops, repealed over the two days of the oonference, were added to the programme's three streams of- 8 main plenary an evidence-based practi￿ stream a fundamen181s ofwound care stream. Across the Iwo-day programme, high calibre speakers {many ofwhom are Trustees) delivered relevant presentations tailored lo the needs and wants of our delegates. The sessions were full, showing a real desire among many lo access the evidence base that underpins practice while al the same time, meeting the demand for practical based learning that supports theory. New also for 2023 was a guide for delegates attending the conference for the first lime, put together by our Skin Care Champions, Facilitator. Society of Tissue Viability Annual Report July 2024

11 was our greenest conference lo date, with the programme booklel considerably reduced in Size. re-use of pull up banners 8nd the use of QR codes linking delegates to a wealth of information on our website. Our Active Associates group met up face to face for Ihe first time and, during the opening address, our Chair launched the Dan Bader Memorial Awards for pr8clice developmenl and for research, and opened a membership survey to help shape the future direction of the Society. Finally, our conference was well supported by industry who provided positive feedback about the venue, level of footfall and engagement from delegates. The conference exhibition is one way for the Society to support its reciprocal agreements with many nol-for-profits and small charities, providing these organisations with an opportunity lo meet clinicians and industry delegates who might not be aware of their existence, and so help signpost patients to the support that Ih8y need. Almost as Soon as our Conference concluded, TNstees were off to the European Wound Management Association {EWMAI 2023 conference in Milan lo start the work of planning ourjoint conference with EWMA in London in 2024. Trustees decided to kick off the countdown lo London 2024 with a sponsored walk covering the distance from Milan lo London {wilh some energeti¢ souls eventually walking all the way back again). This marked the beginning of a year of international partnerships for the Society as we were also the collaborating organisalion for the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel IEPUAP) 2023 conference held in Leeds in September 2023. Throughout the year the Society runs online study days, complemented by sponsored and Society-led webinars. As a Society, we try to largel education based on need 8nd also try to identify service areas that find11 difficult to access education, such as mental health or children's services. We strive to develop our educational programme so that il is collaborative and multidisciplinary. something which is very much reflected in the wide range of clinicians allending our education sessions. Approaching the end of the year the Sociely collaborated with the National Wound Care Strategy Programme INWCSPI and all four nations of the UK for STOP thÈ Pressure week in November. The theme for 2023 was 'Every Contact Counts., be that contact with a clinician or healthcare professional, contact wth a surface like a bed or a chair, contact with leaders in healthcare. or contact on social or traditional media, all of which have a major role to play in preventing presstjre ulcers. The week of activity was not only supported by funding from NWCSP bul also by 12 of our industry partners. Finally, the impact of our rebrand carried out in 2022 was strongly fell throughout 2023 and its continuing success has led to a marked increase in membership numbers, increased allendance al our educational sessions and increased traffic lo our website and greater engagement with our social medla channels. 8elow is a short summary providing further detail of the main activitie& Ihe Soclely has undertaken in 2023 in support of its slr81egi¢ objectives. 1. Membershlp Being a member of the Society of Tissue Viability means joining 8 community of some of the world's best clinical experts and helping to sh8 e and contribute lo the science and research of skin health and Society ol T15sue Viability Annual Report July 2024

wound healing. The Society was set up for all those who are passionate about solving skin and wound challenges arld we welcome anyone who is interested in skin health and wound healing - whether professionally or personally. Over the course of 2023 our membership has grown slfongly and by the close of the year stood al over 1,000 merllber5, our highest ever number of members. Many members are nLJrse8, bLJt our community also includes doctors, pharmacists, bioengineers, podiatrists, other allied health professionals, academics. researchers, clinical scientists and healthcare industry professionals and il is this diversity in our community that is one of our main strengths. In 2022 we launched a new initiative for members, called Active Asso¢iales as an opportunity for members to become more involved in the work of the Society. Togelher with our Alumni (former Trustees who remain actively engaged with the Society). Active Associates make up our Associate Forum. For 2023, we set up Ihe Associate Forum's own WhatsApp group and project on Basecamp and held our first face-to-face meeting at the Society's sland at our Peterborough conference. The number of Active Associates continues to grow, and some have now become involved in the Society's work streams and educational programrnes and we hope that in lime the irllilalive will prove a stepping stone onlo taking up a role on the Council of trustees. During 2023 we also launched a members, only area of the Society's website where there is a wealth of fantastic information, including.. Recorded presentations from our conferen Recorded presentations form our advanced, specialist and servi specific study days Direct online access to the Journal of Tissue Viabilily An opportunity lo share members, stories A member's joumey from joining the Society to becoming its chair Member benefits including discounted membership of international organisations and exclusive offers We now send out member only newslelters so that members are the first lo hear aboul new events and Society initiatives. Open rates range between 40 and 60 % demonstrating an incredibly high engagement rate from our commilled audience. A new initiative that is again only available to members of the Society is the Dan Bader Memorial Award, set up in memory of Professor Dan Bader, Emeritus Editor of the Journ81 of Tissu8 Viability and18unched at the Peterborough conference. The award is intended to support a healthcare worker, or an early career researcher to develop knowledge or best practice within the field of tissue viability. with members invited lo apply for either a practice development award or a research award. The first awards were judged in January 2024 and the winners invited lo attend the Society's stream at EWMA 2024 in London. A S￿rveY of our membership was launched al the 2023 conference. As a member-led charity we strive lo use the power of collaborative thinking and action lo solve skin health and wound healing challenges together. As part of this, we are constantly trying to improve our membership offering and the survey was a way of asking members for their honest feedback and thoughts on how well the Society of Tissue Viabilily was performing. Highlights from the overall posilive results showed that members had a ood idea of the benefits of membershi and rated it Soaety of Tissue Viability Annual Report July 2024

excellent value., the conference and educational events were rated excellent and our website easy to navigate with a good brand identity. The responses indicated that since our previous survey there had been a shift towards most people knowing about the Society and the educational events we offered. Every year we offer bursaries lo members lo attend the EWMA and EPUAP European conferences. There was a huge jump in applications this year to attend EWMA 23 in Milan and we received 41 applications for two funded places. Since EPUAP'S 2023 Conference was being held in the UK. we increased the nLJmber of funded places available to members from two to four. 2. Conference The Society's annual conference was held in Peterborough on the 2￿27 April 2023. We again held Iwo industry sponsored bre8kfast symposia, and the two- day programme included lectures, discussion forums, an evidence-based practice stream as well as a fundamentals in wound care stream. The popularity of the evidence-based practi￿ stream underlined a real desire among members lo access the research that underpins everything that we do in practice. Conversely the fundamentals stream allracted those new to wound care, such as those working in a care home selling and (not only nursing) students. The stream was delivered by trustees as 8 Part of what we do as 8 Society- our education is not just aimed al people with advanced skills but also encourages those new to the specialty, looking for stepping stones to improving their skills. Following feedback from our members. we extended the length of the lunch break and streamlined the programme in order that we could introduce additional industry sponsored workshops that ran concurrently across both days. with topics covered including debridemenl, advanced bandaging, and vascLJlar assessment, all three of which proved extremely popular. Over the two days, 373 Clinical delegates allended the conference, which had 47 speakers and 53 companies exhibiting (a much higher figure than achieved in 2022}- 110 industry personnel also allended. The event was a great success and gave us a platfomi to build on for our collaboration with EWMA {European Wound Management Associalionl for 2024. The Society was the cooperating organisation for EWMA'S annual conference which was held from 1-3 May 2024 in London. There were Society streams as part of the over211 programme plus a free day for community healthcare professionals and a free day for students. 3. Study sessions and online educational events In 2023 we made some changes to enhar)ce the experience of our online events for both attendees and our industry supporters. We moved to using Zoom Webinar in order that we could offer industry dedicated lime within the programme during which they look over the 'main stage, and presented to the whole audience about their products and setvices. Also, by making th8 switch lo Zoom Webinar, the attendee reporting and accessing of online meetings was mad6 easier and more accessible. Online educational event subjects in 2023 inclLJded..

Skin Care Champions The Society created the Skin Care Champions programme to provide people working in care homes and home care agencies with trusted, cosl-effeclive and easily accessible education that 8UPPOrts skin health and wound healing. Our ambition is lo create and empower a Skin Care Champion for every care home or agency that joins the programme- someone who can help to make sure that excellent care is provided to their clients and residents and be seen as a source of information and knowledge for their peers. We ran a third cohort of the programme in 2023 with 84 champions (including one group of personal assistants who obtained funding via Skills For Carel from 21 provider organisations enrolled. To help fund the Skin Care Champions programme for 2023 the Society applied for and was awarded a grant from 3M which helped to cover 50 /D of the programme's running cost for the year.

A fourth cohort of Skin Care Champions started in May 2024 and so far the programme has 50 champions registered from 20 providers including our first home care provider since the pilot in 2021. In addition, three organisations have rejoined for a second year. Most of the providers are care homes both residential and nursing. Educatlon Endorsement A core part of the Society's mission is to make sure that Ihe best new thinking and praclice in skiri health and wound healing reaches the people il needs to. Our offering of Education Endorsement is a part of fulfilling this. We are proud lo work with our industry partners and other not-for-profit organisations lo help bring more high-quality. independ8nl education to people with an interest in skin health and wound healing. During 2023 we endorsed 3 educational modules for 1 organisalion and 1 webinarlcourse for a different organisalion. For 2024, we have several renewals and new materials lo be endorsed in the. 4. Collaboratlons I consultations The Society is regularly approached by external organisations nationally lo offer opinion or consultalion on work they may be doing. Largely this kind of work is undertaken without consulting the membership, bul we are always mindful that we represent our membership when we respond. Collaborations 2nd consultations this year have included: Le s M811er.' Legs Matter operates under the governance of the Sociely of Tissue Viability and is a coalition of healthcare organisations that work together lo increase awareness. understanding and prevent harm for lower leg and fool conditions. Legs Maller's website 1legsmatter.orgl is of central importance to the campaign and work begun in 2022 to make the website rllore accessible to a wider range of people continued throughout 2023 with coalition members working hard on updating ils pages. 2023 saw the return of Legs Maller Week 12-16 June, wherè the focus for the week was to raise the alarm on the hidden hami Soci8ty of TtSSU8 Viability Ar)nual RerK)rt July 2024

The focus of Legs Matter switched lo being a year-round event, not just an awareness week and the campaign was charged with three aims.. raising awareness, providing education, taking action. An annual work plan was drawn LJP, ulilising the 10-poinl plan as a base lo woth from. •4 Legs Matter continues lo receive excellent support from Induslry through corporate sponsorship and their contribution to the campaign's strategy. Legs Maller is fortunate lo have this financial support, since without il the campaign would not be able to continue. Al the time of wrtling this report, the Legs Matter campaign is in a positive financial position. STOP the Prossure.- In November 2023, the Society once again collaborated with the National Wound Care Strategy Programme {NWCSP) and all four nations of the UK for Stop the Pressure week with representatives from England, Scotland, Wales and Northem Ireland. Our media partners Mark Allen Group and Wounds UK also supported the campaign. with our theme and focus being around

Everycontactcounts.

Here are some of the key elements.. We ran a month-long social media campaign with a full 'social media pack, of downloadable assels and ideas to enable everyone lo join in We produced some short films ranging from messages from the Chief Nurse Offices in all four nations as well as C-O-N-T-A-C-T and industry videos We ran virtual events including a full day of Advanced pressure ulcer management, a Fundamentals of pressure ulcer care training. a What makes babies and children so much al risk of pressure ulcers? and Preventlng pressure ulcers in people with spinal injury webinars We provided a range of activities and competitions Including a #STOPTHEPRESSURE quiz and word search We designed a range of downloadable assets including posters, banner stands and PowerPoint presentations The videos and assets were uploaded lo the Resource section of the Society's website and continue to be avai18ble on an on oin basis.

Wounds Research Nelwork The formal ofWReN's annual meeting changed in 2023 from being a standalone meeting held concurrently with the Society's annual conference, to transforming inlo a more pared-back evidence-based practice research stream run within the overall Society conference programme. This was a very successful development, making research more accessible to conference delegates. Numbers on the d8y were encouraging, with around 60 to 80 people allending the stream. The Society continues to place a great deal of importance on research and developments in wound care and skin health and a new initiative for 2024 will look at encouraging early-career researchers lo stimulate their interest in researching the subject. NHS En land.. The Society continues to work with NHS England Improvement lo lead a programme of change for the wound care population of England. In 2022 the National Wound Care Strategy Programme INWCSPI approached the Society to investigate developing a piece of work seeking lo explore students, experience of WOLJnd care. Students are the future of wound care and, al the moment, their undergraduate experience seems to be unequitable and dependent on clinical placement. Following the NWCSP'S request, the Society developed a survey for newly qualified healthcare professionals to understand how the level of education students receive correlates with their level of preparedness and confidence at the start of their practice. Despite the suNey being extended to run throughout 2023 and promoted via a range of media, sadly the rèsponse rate was low and not represenlalive of the group being surveyed. It was decided to discontinue the survey, however, this is an important topic and the Society will continue to look al other ways to engage with students and newly qualified professionals in future. •% Also during 2023. the Society continued to engage with NHS Supply Chain, using the proper channels to raise clinicians concerns around sourcing specialist products. To ensure that the views of our members and other healthcare professionals were represented in a clear and unbiased way, in 2022 we developed a survey around the procurement of wound care products and therapies and the evidence for their use. The survey remained open into 2023, however, during this time Supply Chain itself went through a major reorganisalion, with NHS England taking the procurement process back in house. The reorganisalion was an opportunity for the NWCSP work on developing a slandardised approach lo the categorisalion of wound care products. This work was not intended as an exercise in reducing choice of dressings at point of care, which was driving concern among members. Therefore, the decision was taken lo close the Society's suNey as il was felt to be no longer relevant. The Society received with interest the NWCSP'S Wound Care Knowledge and Skills Core Capabilities Framework document and looked at adopting the section detailing the Core Capabilities Framework to help differentiate between our own educational slud da This was a useful exercise which hel ed us Swety of Tissue Viabillty Annual Report July 2024

appreciate the importance of defining our educational activities to help participants differentiate between different levels of knowledge and expertise and make an informed Choi￿ before engaging with our Fundamental, Advanced and Specialisl education events. Following the mapping exercise, trustees concluded that we were unable to adopt the Wound Care Workforce Framework (Domains and Capabililiesl in Its current format and offered feedback to the NWCSP as to why we had made this decision. The NWCSP was grateful for the feedback, and we will continue to support the NWCSP with similar work in the future. Nurses S ecialized in Wound Ostom and Continence Canada NSWOCC - In 2023 the Society continued collaborative working with NSWOCC around producing a joint ¢onsensus document o best pr8Ctice in relation lo sharp debridemenl. 15 primary statements produced al the start of the collaboration were approved and sent out to a variety of health professionals across UK and Canada. In July 2024, the SOTV published open access in the Journal of Tissue Viability the article The development Df international Wound Debridemenl Best Practice ReGommend8tions.' Consensus belween Nurses Specialized in Wound, Oslomy and Continence Canada ancl Ihe Society of Tissue Viability making it freely open for all to share. Intemational Skin Tear Adviso P8nel The Society has a memorandum of understanding with the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel lo form a partnership to raise awareness about the prevention and management of skin tears and skin breakdown. In 2023 ISTAP approached our Skin Care Champions Facililalor about the possibility of conlribuling to the programme and went on to pres&nl a talk to our 2023 cohort on skin lears. Euro ean Pressure UlcerAdviso Pan81 The Society was the local collaborator for EPUAP'S 2023 conference in Leeds 1>15 September. The conference's Iheme was Innovations in Pressure Ulcer Prevenlion and Treatment. and the Society pul together a symposium divided into two one-hour sessions. The first session covered repositioning in complex situations to ¢omplemenl EPUAP'S workshop on repositioning, while the second session looked at the UK'S four nations approach to activity for International Stop the Pressure Day. 5. Journal of Tissue Viability The Society's journal, the Journal of Tissue Viabili(y IJTVI, is a high quality, peer reviewed journal that has an international readership. For the 5 year running, the JTV continued to see a healthy increase in article submissions. 394 articles were submitted lo the journal In 2023, an increase of 340/0 compared to 2022.
