Welcome to CPIAP!
The Pan-Canadian Interprofessional Approach to Address the Prevention and Management of Pressure Injuries
​
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.
