title: Inaugural professorial lectures: tissue viability.
abstract: The Tissue Viability Practice Development Unit at Birmingham City University aspires to be a centre of excellence, making a real difference to patients, and the carers and professionals looking after them. March 14 marked the inaugural lectures of Professors Michael Clark, Jackie Stephen-Haynes and David Gray, sponsored by the JWC. Their involvement in what the TVPDU is trying to achieve is a fantastic opportunity, both for the unit itself and for the field of tissue viability as a whole.
