The Presto reveal: our brand-new innovation
Something brand new is coming from Accora- and you can see it first.
The Presto is our groundbreaking innovation: the only bed on the market built around the entire equipment pathway, from prescription and delivery through to installation, maintenance and long-term use.
This session gives you a first look at how a single bed now covers ultra-low to full nursing height, moves and folds in under 30 seconds, and brings postural positioning, pressure area management and a memory function together in one solution- none of it shown publicly before.
The training will be delivered by Jayne Brewer, Occupational Therapist and Nicholas Drake, Category Lead. All attendees will receive a CPD certificate on completion.
Join us live to see the reveal, ask your questions in real time, and be among the very first to see what Presto means for service users, prescribers, technicians, warehouse teams and commissioners.

Swollen legs, stolen lives: how oedema steals mobility and independence
Swollen legs are often dismissed as a minor or inevitable problem. In reality, unmanaged oedema can be the first step toward loss of mobility, independence, and quality of life.
This webinar raises awareness of how lower limb swelling triggers a downward spiral of heaviness, pain, reduced movement, muscle weakness, and fear of activity- often leading to deconditioning and patients becoming 'off-legs.' Everyday coping strategies, such as reduced walking or sleeping in a chair, can unintentionally worsen the problem.
Aimed at all healthcare professionals, this session shifts the focus from treating symptoms to recognising early warning signs and acting sooner. It highlights how simple, timely interventions can protect mobility, prevent avoidable decline, and help people remain independent for longer.
Configura Comfort 2: the next generation of comfort and postural support
In this webinar we will introduce the Configura Comfort 2, exploring how it builds on the trusted legacy of the original Comfort with advanced adjustability and user-focused innovation.
We will provide an overview of key features, including tilt-in-space, backrest recline, and rise functions, as well as its integrated pressure care and posture management options.
The session will examine how these features work together to support safe transfers, promote healthy posture, protect skin integrity, and maintain user comfort, stability, and independence throughout the day.
