Prescribing seating for cognitively impaired users: exploring the risks

When prescribing seating, our aim is to meet the needs of the service user by prescribing a chair that will provide the right level of support, enable safe, easier assisted or independent transfers, reduce risk of pressure injuries and enable them to obtain and maintain a good sitting posture in the provided chair. However when a service user has a cognitive impairment and has poor risk awareness, additional risks are present. In this session we aim to outline some of these possible additional risks and how to overcome them to ensure the service user and their carers/family remain as safe as possible when the service user is seated in a chair that is there to meet their needs.

Keeping Everyone Safe: Infection prevention during joint visits

We look at several aspects of infection prevention and control that are crucial to patient / client safety.  Evonne will explain  how micro-organisms behave, their capability of surviving in the environment and the modes of transmission.  We then assess the risks in what we do, and what we need to do in order to prevent the risk of new infections spreading to both the patient / client and ourselves.
