As a visiting professor at the University of Sao Paolo Brazil, Dimitri’s visit in March was a blend of teaching, collaborating, and networking. Coupled with postgraduate teaching, he set up research collaborations between the SKINT research group at Ghent University, the Swedish Centre for Skin and Wound Research (SCENTR) at Örebro University, and the USP School of Nursing. He met with clinical partners, and, most importantly, contributed to the academic culture in nursing and wound research.
During this congress 16-18 November, Prof. Dimitri Beeckman contributed as a guest speaker, addressing the challenges in the prevention and treatment of skin lesions resulting from incontinence and delving into the health-economic impact of wounds at local, national, and global levels. Congratulations on a great conference!
