Configura Mediatric: what do we mean by mediatric?
In this webinar we will introduce the Configura Mediatric, exploring it's advanced adjustability and user-focused innovation.
We will provide an overview of key features, including tilt-in-space, independent backrest recline and leg rest elevation, 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.
Prevention and early intervention: improving safety at home and reducing hospital admissions
Supporting people to remain safe at home is a key priority across health and social care. Prevention and early intervention focus on identifying risks early and taking action to reduce harm, maintain independence, and avoid escalation of need.
This practical webinar will explore how occupational therapists and clinicians can use early intervention strategies and equipment to reduce risk in the home environment. Using case-based examples, we will demonstrate how simple, timely interventions can prevent falls, reduce functional decline, and support people to remain safely at home for longer.
The session will include live demonstrations using equipment such as the floor bed and specialist seating, linking clinical reasoning to real-world outcomes.
Cellulitis – what is and isn’t cellulitis and what to do about it
