Partner Summit in Liepāja – strengthening global collaboration in pressure injury prevention

Last week, Care of Sweden brought together partners from across the world in Liepāja, Latvia, for three days of knowledge sharing, collaboration, and focus on pressure injury prevention.

Over the course of the summit, partners from Europe, Asia, and Australia met to share insights from their respective healthcare systems and discuss how we can continue to strengthen our work together.

Sharing knowledge and real-world experiences
A key part of the summit was the exchange of both healthcare system challenges and success stories. We all shared real examples of how pressure injury prevention is approached in practice, as well as how our solutions have contributed to improving patient outcomes in different markets.

These discussions highlighted both the similarities and differences across healthcare systems, reinforcing the value of learning from each other.

A particularly appreciated contribution came from Professor Joan-Enric Torra Bou, who has long been engaged in pressure injury prevention and research. As a key contributor to our study on autonomy and CuroCell iA in Spain, he shared his clinical experiences and reflections—providing valuable insights and inspiration to all participants.

From production to patient outcomes
The summit also included a visit to our factory in Liepāja, where many of our solutions are produced. By opening our doors, we gave partners a closer understanding of our production processes, quality standards, and long-term commitment to patient safety.

Throughout the summit, it became clear that pressure injuries are a global challenge. While healthcare systems differ, the underlying issues remain the same, making international collaboration and knowledge sharing essential.

Events like this play an important role in strengthening partnerships and supporting the continuous development of better, more sustainable healthcare.

Together with our partners, we continue working towards our shared ambition: eliminating pressure injuries.
