Struggle getting legs into bed?

For many individuals, getting their legs into bed can be challenging, which in turn affects their sleep and health. We're thrilled to introduce our novel solution - the Ascenda.

Upcoming webinars
Pressure ulcers – definition, assessment, prevention and treatment
Pressure ulcers are a painful, debilitating condition that can, largely, be prevented. Seen as a measure of harm by NHS England/Improvement and reportable to the CQC in care home settings, understanding how best to protect those within your care from developing a pressure ulcer is an important aspect of care delivery.
Prevention of pressure ulcers is however not always easy and, in some cases, not possible. Understanding how they develop, how to recognise those at risk, how to prevent them and what to do when they do occur is vital knowledge for anyone involved in the care of those vulnerable to pressure ulcers.
Staff with different skill sets can work their way through the whole programme, or they can choose individual modules.
From observation to action: addressing red flags in postural management and pressure care
Given her experience of working with individuals with complex postural presentations, Sabrina will discuss insights into where she would consider early interventions for sitting and lying to be essential for management of the physical condition and skin integrity. She will also discuss red flags for sitting and lying, such as common early biomechanical risk factors and support surfaces.
Can a single carer achieve an optimum position in a seating system when hoisting?
In this webinar, Kay James will share videoed practical solutions and tips on how single carers can achieve optimum position when hoisting. She will also discuss some of the challenges faced, as well as having an open discussion alongside our OT, Jayne Brewer.
