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

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.
Bed standards and siderail provision-it’s still a hot topic!

Evidence for 24 hour posture management
Starting with a definition of posture and which people are most at risk from the effects of gravity on their body shape, this webinar goes on to consider posture management over a 24-hour period and the evidence base surrounding the topic. We consider current service provision and gaps in service, creating unmet needs and then explore whether any principles of posture management can be introduced in attendees work settings.
