The Business Office has moved from the Department of Dermatology at the Churchill
Hospital, Oxford to 68 Church Way, Iffley, Oxford, OX4 4EF. This has given us more
space and Christine Cherry, who has retired from the National Health Service, is now
the administrator of the office continuing the active rôle that she has had since the
EPUAP was founded.
The audited financial accounts provided to the Charity commission are included in
this issue of the EPUAP Review.
Interest for our eighth annual meeting in Aberdeen, Scotland (5–7 May 2005) is
extremely robust and, judging by the number of commercial exhibitors that have signed
up as well as the scientific and social programme which is planned, it will be one of the
best meetings since we began. The meeting is preceded by a one-day Tissue Viability
Society meeting whose theme is ‘Fundamental principles and good practice in tissue
viability.’ Individuals who attend this meeting will be given a discount on the registration
fee for the EPUAP meeting to encourage their attendance for both meetings.
Professor Terence Ryan, one of our founding trustees, has received a grant for wound
care and pressure ulcers in developing countries to be administered through the EPUAP.
If you are involved in pressure ulcer education or treatment in developing countries
please write him directly at the Business Office.
The Business Office would like to wish all of our members and corporate sponsors a
joyous holiday season and a prosperous and peaceful 2005!
Dr George W. Cherry
Secretary/Treasurer
