Pressure ulcers – definition, assessment, prevention and treatment

On Demand
From Apr 03, 2025 to Jul 10, 2025
Up-coming Webinar

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.

Pressure ulcers - To sit or not to sit

In this session we will explore the critical clinical reasoning process around whether you can sit out of bed with a pressure area. To celebrate OT week and Stop the pressure week, we wish to recognise the  importance of collaborative working. 

This session will explore the risks of sitting and the risks of staying in bed. We wish to  help clients make informed seating decisions to promote comfort, healing,  function and overall well being.
