Wound management and the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers is recognized as a major quality issue (Department of Health (DoH), 1993). However, there remains a number of NHS trusts who operate without a formal tissue viability service (TVS) (Dealey, 1994). The aim of this article is to assist those wishing to develop such a service by describing how the authors' TVS became established and how it has developed during the subsequent 5 years (Smith, 1996). It is anticipated that this information will provide a framework for practitioners who want to develop this specialty within their own trust. Traditionally, the detection and treatment of pressure ulcers has been the role of nursing staff. However, it is now recognized that this responsibility lies with many members of the multidisciplinary team, the members of which provide the foundation of an effective TVS (Smith, 1993).
伤口处理以及压疮的预防和治疗被视为一个重大的质量问题（卫生部，1993年）。然而，仍有一些国民保健服务信托机构在没有正式的组织活力服务（TVS）的情况下运营（迪利，1994年）。本文的目的是通过描述作者所在的组织活力服务是如何建立的以及在随后的5年里是如何发展的，来帮助那些希望开展此类服务的人（史密斯，1996年）。预计这些信息将为那些希望在自己所在的信托机构内发展这一专业的从业者提供一个框架。传统上，压疮的检测和治疗一直是护理人员的职责。然而，现在人们认识到，这项责任由多学科团队的许多成员共同承担，这些成员为有效的组织活力服务提供了基础（史密斯，1993年）。
