Biography

Sebastian Probst holds the position of Full Professor of Tissue Viability and Wound Care at the Geneva School of Health Sciences, HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland, and the University Hospital of Geneva. He is also Adjunct Professor at the faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva, the Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and the College of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences of the University of Galway in Galway, Ireland.
Sebastian began his nursing career in Zurich over 25 years ago, and pursued his Master’s in Nursing Science at the University of Basel and attained his Doctorate in Clinical Practice at the University of Guildford in the U.K., and completed his Post-Doctorate at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. He saw that patients with chronic and palliative wounds needed support and guidance to alleviate their wound related symptoms, to prevent recurrences and ultimately to enhance their quality of life.

Sebastian’s research contributes to a person-centered care approach to develop best practice wound care, patient education, social support and self-efficacy in wound patients and their families. He is currently engaged in the development of artificial intelligence applications in wound care to enhance the decision-making process of healthcare professionals, ultimately improving patient and family outcomes. Sebastian actively lectures and mentors Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D. students. He has collaborative projects in Switzerland and internationally.

He serves as the Immediate Past President of the European Wound Management Association and as Vice-President of Wound DACH, where he plays pivotal roles in project and document development within these associations.
