For Occupational Therapists, seating and positioning are not only about posture- they directly influence skin integrity, function, participation, comfort, and long-term health outcomes. Poor alignment and inadequate support can significantly increase pressure injury risk, impact upper limb function, and limit occupational engagement.

In this webinar, we will explore how seating posture, pelvic alignment, and support surface selection influence pressure distribution in seated clients. Using an occupational therapy lens, the session will link biomechanical principles to functional performance, risk assessment, and real-world clinical decision-making.

A live demonstration using a pressure mapping system will compare alternative seating positions in real time, illustrating how subtle adjustments in pelvic positioning, trunk support, and cushion setup can dramatically change pressure distribution and risk profiles. All these factors can help better inform 24 hour positioning.

This session is ideal for Occupational Therapists working in wheelchair services, community practice, neurorehabilitation, long-term care, and complex seating provision who want to strengthen their pressure care assessment skills and intervention strategies.

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 it's 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.

As health and social care services continue to evolve, Technology Enabled Care (TEC) is playing an increasingly important role in supporting people to live safely, independently, and confidently in their own homes. This webinar will explore how digital solutions, remote monitoring, telecare, and connected technologies can enhance person-centred care, improve outcomes, and support proactive intervention.

The session will showcase practical examples of TEC in action, discuss implementation challenges and opportunities, and highlight how technology can complement clinical expertise while empowering individuals and their families.
