Assessment of the organization and the scientific

content of the III Conference of Vascular Nursing

by surveys made to both the participants and

members of the organizing committee.

The 100 conferences registrations were

completed by nurses of all levels of care.

The conference lasted two days and the

registration fee was 30 euros. For the first

time a continuing training certified with 2, 4

credits by the Spanish Health System was

included. All participants completed the

satisfaction over 80% in both human and

We believe that the success of the inscription was

due to the following aspects: the great interest of

participants to increase knowledge regarding

wounds, the schedule and the scientific content

which included workshops offered to small groups

of 10 people by highly trained and experience

speakers and the low registration fee

1.Continuing regional education in vascular nursing

and wounds has been institutionalized in Spain

2.The evaluation of the training has been positive for

both attendees and organizers.

3.The maintenance of scientific quality by making

workshops with a low registration fee are new

challenges to achieve in the next conferences.
