In January, Urgo Medical UK&I came together in Marrakech to start the new year. As we look back on 2024, it is clear that this was a year of growth, innovation and partnership. We had the privilege of partnering with clinicians across the UK and Ireland, to heal wounds and improve patients’ quality of life. Before we begin 2025, and celebrate Urgo Medical’s 25th anniversary, let’s recap the key moments that defined 2024.
Events and Education
In 2024, we had the opportunity to attend industry-leading events across the UK&I. Our team was thrilled to be part of these events and had a fantastic time speaking to over 7,000 delegates at our stands and symposia. We loved connecting with clinicians who share our commitment to challenging the status quo and improving patient care. EWMA was one of the highlights of 2024. Having this event in London gave us an incredible opportunity to connect with our colleagues and delegates from across Europe.
Throughout the year, we also organised specialised events. In March we held our Leg Ulcer Days, where we trained healthcare professionals in the management and treatment of patients suffering with venous leg ulcers. At our Evidence for Excellence events, we invited key decision makers to discuss topics from our Formulary Best Practice Statement (WoundsUK, 2023). We are thrilled to hear that attendees enjoyed these events, and will continue to build clinician skills and confidence through our events in 2025.

Evidence for Excellence
We were also incredibly fortunate to host our 3rd annual Summer School in July, in partnership with the University of Huddersfield. This event brought together healthcare professionals who were keen to challenge practice for positive change. Our expert speakers did a fantastic job delivering a detailed and engaging agenda, that left us feeling inspired and empowered to make a difference.

Our Partnerships
In 2024, Urgo Medical UK&I continued to support clinicians and patients through our dedicated partnerships.
Innovation Awards
In November we held our Innovation Award Ceremony. We are pleased to have awarded funding to Natasha Cashmore and Jamie Shore (Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS) for their impactful Self-Care in Community project.
Legs Matter Week
We proudly supported Legs Matter Week - an initiative that bring the wound care community together. We had the chance to raise awareness about the importance of leg health and wound prevention.
Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge
(DEBRA and Rainbows)
We also raised funds for DEBRA and Rainbows, through our memorable Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge. Our team walked over 25 miles, to raise a total of £5,105 for patients affected by serious conditions. This challenging feat was only possible thanks to our dedicated team.
Our Team
Behind everything that Urgo Medical UK&I has achieved in 2024, is our amazing team. We have welcomed new members to the team and celebrated long serving employees. Throughout the year we have recognised team members’ successes through our Value Awards and Top Performance awards. We are incredibly proud of our team and their continued hard work and commitment.
Looking ahead at 2025
2024 has been a year of exciting progress and achievements, and we are thankful for everyone who has been part of this journey. We look forward to our upcoming events and continued commitment to our partnerships in 2025.
