implementation<br />

Why my nomination could be of interest to be in <strong>EWMA</strong> <strong>Council</strong>?<br />
Me and Spain Could be highlighted already in many ways:<br />
- We think that Spain and one of the groups (GNEAUPP) that is at <strong>EWMA</strong> from<br />
the beginning, could be represented at the <strong>Council</strong><br />
- My person and the Society that I represent Could work and collaborate in many<br />
ways. For instance:<br />
o The translation of the POG document into Spanish (and prepare Joint with<br />
<strong>EWMA</strong> a presentation at our next conference in Seville 2012)<br />
o To design and conduct a health economic survey in Spain<br />
o To work in a description of the Spanish health care system in the wound<br />
area or similar things<br />
o And also, all those projects which also might materialize in relation to<br />
<strong>EWMA</strong> 2014 in Spain
