About this Event
From Pressure to Prevention: Exploring Support Surfaces and Infection Links
The Järven Symposium 2025 brings together leading international experts to explore the latest evidence and practical perspectives on support surfaces, pressure ulcer prevention, and infection control.
Across eight focused sessions, speakers from Sweden, South Korea and Germany will present cutting-edge research and clinical insights – from the impact of mattresses on hospital-acquired infections, to trauma care innovation, and practical nursing solutions in everyday routine.
Participation in the symposium is free of charge.
Attendees can register here on this page for one or multiple sessions of their choice, with places limited to 35 participants per lecture.
Designed for healthcare professionals, researchers and decision-makers, the symposium provides a compact, one-day program that combines scientific depth with real-world relevance. Join us at MEDICA in Düsseldorf to connect with peers, share knowledge and discuss how innovative support surfaces can improve patient safety and care efficiency.
