Brief CV

Victoria (Vicky) works across the North Europe region (UK&I + Nordics) as a Senior Clinical Specialist for Solventum (previously 3M) focusing on skin integrity, wound management and NPWT. She has been with 3M in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Europe for almost 20 years. In that time she has been involved in many aspects of the business from new product introductions, research, business and marketing strategies, medical education and always with a large focus on training and education, and in that time has built up a wide international network of key opinion leaders in wound management. Prior to that Victoria was a TVN and DN Sister where she led and developed a leg ulcer service in the UK. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Nursing, Post Graduate Diploma in Primary Care and in 2024 graduated with an MSc with Distinction in Clinical Skin Integrity and Wound Management.

Vicky has loved every minute of being an Industry Trustee for the SoTV and firmly believes in the mission of the Society of Tissue Viability, which is that skin health and wound healing is everyone’s business and that change happens when we work together, not in silos. In her opinion, it is essential to ensure effective collaboration between clinicians and industry and she is convinced that together they can make a far-reaching and positive difference for patients living with wounds. What’s more, she considers that quality improvement programmes such as pressure ulcer prevention, Legs Matter campaign or supporting clinicians with pathways, education and training are a means of fostering this collaboration. The Society of Tissue Viability recognises collaboration with industry but does so without bias or promotion and always upholds its values. Vicky hopes she can be re-elected again and continue to drive the SoTV’s mission, explore ways to further collaborate with industry and drive the continued success of the SoTV. In Vicky’s own words, “I feel enormously proud and privileged to be part of the SoTV, working with a group of highly valued experts in their field, where everyone feels listened to and valued – all within a caring and nurturing environment knowing that it is together that we can make the difference!”

“Thank you for the opportunity again to be re–elected and I am excited for what is next!”
