Sylvie Hampton is a powerhouse in wound care—her name is practically synonymous with innovation, education, and fierce advocacy in tissue viability. Here’s a quick snapshot of her remarkable journey:
Clinical Trailblazer
Sylvie has been immersed in wound care since the early 1990s, first making waves as a Research and Tissue Viability Nurse at Eastbourne DGH, where she dramatically reduced pressure ulcer prevalence from 15% to 2.4%. That’s not just impressive—it’s transformative.
Entrepreneur & Visionary
Sylvie founded Wound Healing Centres UK Ltd and Eastbourne Wound Healing Centres, which became internationally recognised hubs of excellence. Doctors and nurses from around the world came to learn from the multidisciplinary team.
Prolific Educator & Author
With over 400 articles, two books, and countless book chapters to Sylvie’s name, she shaped the field’s literature and trained generations of nurses and carers. Also serves on editorial boards and as a peer reviewer for major journals.
Medico-Legal Expert
Sylvie’s work as an Expert Witness spans courts, coroners, the NMC, and NHS Trusts, with over 400 reports written. She brings clinical precision and legal insight to the most complex cases.
Global Speaker & Consultant
From speaking at the Conservative Conference in Manchester in 2012 to speaking at Dubai’s Arab World Health Conference and to UK study days, her voice has resonated across continents. She also consults for the Lindsay Leg Club Foundation, consulted for Newham Hospital, SLAM, DoH and has helped shape national standards by lecturing and setting education in universities.
In 2024 Sylvie was awarded the prize as one of the Top Ten nurses in the World by Aster Guardians out of 78.000 nurses from 203 countries. Her passion for wound care is absolute.
