    AbstractThe Wound Management Policy Group is a sub-committee of the Nursing and Midwifery Development Group and has an important role at Queen's Medical Centre, both in providing support to the tissue viability clinical nurse specialist and in providing a multiprofessional perspective on the development and evaluation of policies, protocols, strategies and guidelines in all aspects of tissue viability. The four major recent projects are: the Nottingham Wound Care Formulary and wound management guidelines; the strategy for the prevention and management of pressure damage; the policy and procedure for obtaining pressure-relieving equipment; and the development of group protocols. These projects are described below. The Wound Management Policy Group promotes the use of evidence-based practice across Queen's Medical Centre to ensure the provision of high-quality care in all aspects of wound management.
