Pressure ulcers - To sit or not to sit

On Demand
Up-coming Webinar

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.
