title: Promoting evidence-based education in tissue viability.
abstract: The introduction of the UKCC Scope of Professional Practice (1992a) has encouraged many practitioners to develop their practice in specific areas of nursing including tissue viability. As a result, practitioners wish to develop their knowledge to ensure they deliver the most effective evidence-based care to patients. The author discusses the importance of evidence-based tissue viability education, which integrates input from educationalists and clinicians.
