Top Ten Most Influential Tissue Viability Nurses On Twitter – 2018 Edition

Tissue Viability is often seen as a ‘niche’ speciality and yet the work Tissue Viability Nurses (TVN’s) do has so many far-reaching consequences across so many other disciplines.

How to stay up to date though with the latest developments in the field of Tissue Viability or apply best practises yourself?

That’s why we’ve put together a list (in no particular order!) of the people/groups we think are the Top Ten Influencers on Twitter in their chosen field.

Go on and give them a follow to keep up to date…
