This study observes the experience of two nurses acting at the surgical clinic at Hospital of Education of the South of Brazil, while belonging to the Interdisciplinary Wounded People Care Group (Grupo Interdisciplinar de Cuidados de Pessoas com Feridas – GICPF). Its objective is to divulge GICPF and the daily routine of the assistance of wounded people. The group focuses in planning, spreading information and assisting wounded people providing improvement of life quality and reduction of inpatient stay. Through participation in the group, a larger acceptance to new topic therapies was verified, widening the conception of wounded people care.
