About CPIAP

Pressure injuries are a growing concern in Canada. In order to address the national issue of pressure injuries in Canada, we are bringing together an interprofessional, nationwide panel. This pan-Canadian panel will be represented by a cross section of clinicians and researchers from different healthcare sectors from acute care to the community.

The mandate of CPIAP is to:

act as a unified voice in Canada
support the adaptation of International Pressure Injury Guidelines for Canada,
raise public awareness about pressure injury prevention and management,
advocate for practice change locally, provincially, and federally through policy change in order to improve patient care, and
enhance the scientific evidence that will support stronger evidence-based practice.
