Evidence-informed postural and mobility care for children with non-ambulant cerebral palsy
This webinar will focus on children with cerebral palsy who are classified at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Levels IV and V. Functional independent and interdependent mobility, and postural care are critical components of health, developmental exploration, and social participation for this population. The focus will be expanded from supportive positioning in lying, sitting and standing, to activities of daily living and natural routines, promoting supported stepping, mobility and physical activity.
Participants will explore evidence-based strategies to assess, prescribe, and implement adaptive positioning and mobility technologies, focusing on promoting movement opportunities, optimizing hip and spinal integrity, and mitigating secondary musculoskeletal complications. Video and photo case stories will illustrate evidence-informed implementation of these principles.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the population that can benefit from evidence-informed postural and mobility care.
- Describe at least two benefits of hip surveillance and early detection of hip and knee contractures.
- List three positioning practices that are associated with decreased contractures, pain and deformity.

What happens on a seating assessment?
Join Jayne Brewer as she takes you back to basics, guiding you through the full seating assessment process from start to finish. This practical session will explore the key stages involved, including the importance of gathering pre-assessment knowledge and information to support effective, person-centred outcomes.
An Accora Product Specialist will also be on hand to provide additional insight, helping to bring the process to life with real-world context and expertise.
Whether you're new to seating assessments or looking to refresh your approach, this session will offer a clear and structured overview to build your confidence in practice.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the key stages involved in a seating assessment from start to finish
- Recognise the importance of gathering pre-assessment information and background knowledge
- Identify the core components of a structured, person-centred seating assessment
- Develop confidence in applying a step-by-step approach to seating assessments in practice
- Understand how product knowledge and specialist input can support clinical decision-making
- Reflect on current practice and identify opportunities to improve assessment outcomes

An evaluation of continuous pressure monitoring in the community to support posture, mobility and pressure ulcer prevention strategies
The SEAMLESS team have been undertaking an evaluation of Continuous Pressure Monitoring Technology for Pressure Ulcer Prevention. This includes realist evaluation across 4 community sites, co-design of new innovations through Appreciative Inquiry and a final human factors clinical trial exploring implementation of the technology.
The team have developed a number of tools to support its use in practice, including training, implementation guides and novel algorithms which predict posture, mobility and pressure exposure to aid clinical decisions. The studies have revealed the power of biofeedback to support shared decisions and the key steps that are required to support technology integration into community practice settings.
For more information, visit the project website: Transforming Community Health. A video of the continuous pressure monitoring technology can be found here.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand how continuous pressure monitoring can be implemented in the community
- Explore how algorithms can provide indicators of posture, mobility and pressure exposure
- See how shared decision making can be achieved through the technology

From good prompts to great outcomes: practical AI skills for clinical practice
Most clinicians who try AI walk away unimpressed, and it usually isn't the tool's fault. It's the prompt. This session starts from the ground up with a plain-language explanation of what AI actually is and how these tools work, so anyone who missed part 1 can follow from the first slide. From there we build a simple, repeatable framework for writing prompts that produce genuinely useful clinical output instead of generic filler.
The majority of the session is hands-on, with prompts built, broken and rebuilt in real time: turning messy notes into a summary worth sharing with a team, and building a clear explanation that is then adapted for a different audience and a different reading level. We will also cover the skills that matter most for safe use: letting AI write and improve its own prompts, grounding answers in real documents so the tool cannot invent things, spotting hallucinations, and recognising when AI is simply the wrong tool. Every demonstration is run without any patient information, and the reasoning behind that is part of the teaching. GDPR, confidentiality and professional judgement run throughout.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Write a structured clinical prompt using a five-part framework (role, context, task, constraints, format) and explain how each part changes the output.
- Refine a weak AI response into a usable one by improving it in sequence, including adapting the same content for a different audience and a different reading level.
- Use AI to write and improve its own prompts, reducing the need to memorise prompting techniques.
- Reduce and detect AI errors by grounding answers in source documents, recognising common red flags, and identifying when professional judgement should replace an AI tool.

Configura Advance: the chair that adapts to you
In this webinar, we'll introduce the Configura Advance, exploring its advanced adjustability and user-focused innovation.
We'll provide an overview of key features, including integrated size adjustments across every dimension and a range of backrest upgrade options. As our most configurable and recyclable chair yet, the Advance is the optimal choice for clients with complex postural requirements.
The session will examine how these features work together to support safe transfers, promote healthy posture, protect skin integrity, and maintain comfort, stability, and independence throughout the day.
Learning Outcomes
To introduce the features and functions and of the Configura Advance.
To understand how the Configura Advance can meet an individual’s needs in relation to portability, size, pressure and posture.
To discuss the clinical justifications behind the benefits of the Configura Advance.
To outline how the Configura Advance can benefit the service user and community equipment services.

Stop the pressure week: why every move matters
This November, the Stop the Pressure campaign asks us to think about movement, and the message is that every move matters. From repositioning and mobilisation through to early intervention and collaborative care, each decision we make has the potential to prevent pressure damage.
In this session we look at the six action areas at the heart of this year's campaign: physical, clinical, team, environmental, smart and patient moves. We will explore what each one looks like in day to day practice, where the common barriers sit, and the practical changes that make the biggest difference to the people you support.
Whether you work in hospital, community or care home settings, you will leave with actions you can apply straight away.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Explain why movement is central to pressure ulcer prevention and identify opportunities for safe movement, repositioning, and pressure redistribution in practice.
- Use individual assessment and evidence-based practice to support clinical decision-making, early intervention, and person-centred pressure care.
- Recognise the importance of multidisciplinary working and engaging patients and carers as active partners in pressure damage prevention.
