Professional development
If you work in skin health and wound healing - whether as a TVN or a generalist health care professional - membership gives you access to a wealth of learning and networking opportunities to help you develop.
We began in 1980 with the primary goal of giving skin health and wound healing professionals the support, learning and connections they needed to build their skills and ultimately provide the best care for patients.
That’s still one of our core aims today and all our activities are designed to help create a skilled, supported community of professionals working together to solve skin and wound challenges.

As a member, you receive the Journal free as part of your annual subscription, as well as access to all back issues – helping you stay on top of all the latest developments and advancements within the field.
