Chronic skin lesions (CKL) are a widespread problem that has a strong impact on the lives of affected people, but if they are managed by multi-professional groups dedicated to vulnology, care for them is optimized and clinical outcomes improve. In the ASL TO4, a Piedmontese health company, a group of expert volnologists called 'the Corporate Network for the treatment of chronic skin lesions' was formalized by resolution of the General Manager, whose main objective is to standardize the diagnostic-assistance pathways in the ASL TO4 on prevention and treatment of CKLs. In 2016 the activity carried out by the group in hospitals and districts through vulnological consultations on the one hand and with the services provided in outpatient clinics on the other has taken care of 504 patients; in the same period the team has designed and managed 4 training courses on prevention and treatment of bedsores injuries aimed at employees and General Practitioners operating on the ASL TO4 territory.
