By its very nature, preventative care is a quiet triumph. There are no alarms, no emergencies – just the silent success of something never happening.  But truly remarkable work and progress is already being done by clinicians, innovators, educators and leaders alike. These individuals and their stories, dedication and foresight, are powerful reminders of what is possible. If we want to enter a new era of wound care, this is where the spark begins.

That’s why we’ve created The Silent Hero Awards – to shine a light on the unsung heroes who work tirelessly every day to prevent pressure injuries.
