The Veterinary Wound Library and the newly reformed Veterinary Wound Management Society have joined forces to further advance Veterinary wound management.

The VWL Healing Heart Award has been launched to recognise those who deliver excellence in wound care.

We base our decisions upon the outcomes achieved in terms of the ideals of wound management. These ideals ensure patient welfare is prioitised alongside optimal healing results.
