National Association of Tissue Viability Specialists (England)

Leading excellence in tissue viability

The National Tissue Viability Specialist Association (England) exists to lead advancement and promote excellence in tissue viability by bringing together clinicians, researchers and policymakers alongside patient groups. This represents a unified effort to promote skin integrity and transform wound management, recognising that responsibility for tissue viability spans all professional groups.

The Association drives education, advocacy and innovation to embed evidence‑based practice across all clinical settings. We are committed to ensuring that every individual receives evidence-based care, free from geographical or situational inequality.

Our vision

Reducing the incidence and impact of wounds nationally

Our vision is to reduce the incidence and impact of wounds and skin integrity issues nationally, thereby improving quality of life for patients and reducing the burden on the NHS. Tissue viability will be recognised as fundamental to patient safety, quality of care and system sustainability.

We aspire to create a healthcare system where:

  1. Prevention

    Preventable wounds are minimised through timely identification of individuals at risk, proactive care and early intervention.

  2. Healing

    Healing outcomes are optimised through equitable access to evidence-based care and specialist expertise.

  3. Safety

    Tissue viability is recognised as essential to patient safety and healthcare quality.

  4. Research

    There are equitable opportunities for patients with wounds and skin integrity issues to be offered participation in appropriate research studies.

  5. Innovation

    The NHS in England becomes a global leader in wound care innovation and research.
