Struggle getting legs into bed? Our NEW solution!
Throughout 2024, our clinicians were faced with a recurring query; "I've got a patient who's legs I struggle to get into bed". For many individuals, getting their legs into bed can be challenging, which in turn affects their sleep and health. Today, we're thrilled to introduce our novel solution - the Ascenda. We'll cover some of the benefits of sleeping in a bed, and the contraindications of not being able to get legs into bed. Through case studies, we will illuminate how the Ascenda has improved bed transfers, reduces the need for carers, and promotes independence and dignity.
Learning Outcomes
- Explore the difficulties with bed transfers for different client groups and the range of solutions available
- Address the benefits of sleeping in bed
- Become familiar with the functions and features of the Ascenda
- Evaluate case studies to better understand the effectiveness of the Ascenda
