Abstract
First paragraph: Tissue viability nursing is a relatively new specialty. We know that tissue viability nurses (TVNs) are a valuable resource and that the development of a coordinated service can improve patient care, reduce both risk and costs, and enhance the care of patients with wounds and skin problems. However, searching the literature for information on the role and value of a TVN reveals very little.
