TVS Information

The Tissue Viability Society is probably the world's oldest society dedicated to all tissue viability issues. Formed in 1981 and a UK registered charity since 1996, the Society attracts members from all health care professions involved with tissue viability. Tissue viability is a growing speciality that primarily considers all aspects of skin and soft tissue wounds including acute surgical wounds, pressure ulcers and all forms of leg ulceration. It is not only wound management: it also covers a wide range of organisational, political and socioeconomic issues as well as professional relationships and education.

The Tissue Viability Society has over 1500 members drawn from the various professions involved in tissue viability: primarily nurses with many doctors, engineers, scientists, pharmacists, podiatrists and other professions. The Society’s mission is “to disseminate information, promote research and increase awareness of all aspects of good clinical practice in wound prevention and management” — essentially to provide expertise in wound management.

About Journal of Tissue Viability

The Journal of Tissue Viability is the official publication of the Tissue Viability Society and is a quarterly journal concerned with all aspects of the occurrence and treatment of wounds, ulcers and pressure sores including patient care, pain, nutrition, wound healing, research, prevention, mobility, social problems and management. The Journal particularly encourages papers covering skin and skin wounds but will consider articles that discuss injury in any tissue. Articles that stress the multi-professional nature of tissue viability are especially welcome. We seek to encourage new authors as well as well-established contributors to the field - one aim of the journal is to enable all participants in tissue viability to share information with colleagues.

The scientific and clinical content of the Journal of Tissue Viability is managed by an Editor and a prominent Editorial Board, with all submitted manuscripts subject to review by at least two referees.
