Thursday and Friday November 3-4 is the annual meeting of the Portuguese Wound Management Association (APTF). The event is held at the Porto Congress Center, very close to Stomacare, the exclusive Principelle Distributor for Portugal. It has all the characteristics of a home match: many visitors knowing the Company, visitors cheering on their home team, winning expectedly. That is not to say there is no competition. Good to see that colleagues in the field are also here offering good products, widening the clinical choice.

Lara and Ernesto, with Pedro as Team chef, did very well this morning when just after the opening they were flooded by interested nurses and doctors. It was somewhat unexpected, yet very nice to see. It is fascinating to see visitors at each of these national congresses being so interested in the kind and quality of Principelle products. In the face-to-face meetings one gets very close to the patients these specialists offer care to. Some of the clinically more challenging cases were discussed and treatment options explored. Conclusion: Good to be here!
