24-Hour care: the person centred approach
Join us for an upcoming webinar exploring the theme of person-centred care through a truly multidisciplinary lens. This engaging session brings together a panel of experienced clinicians and specialists to share their perspectives on what person-centred care means in practice.
Featuring Occupational Therapists Nicola Murphy and Jayne Brewer, Tissue Viability Nurse Sarah Thompson, and Accora Product Specialists Dean Curson and Tom Waplington-both formerly practising physiotherapists- this webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear from a diverse range of professional voices.
Through an open and interactive discussion, our speakers will explore how person-centred care is understood and applied across different roles and settings, offering practical insights that attendees can take back into their own practice.

Accora's Clinical Corner: the 24-Hour approach to care
This session brings together the key themes explored across our recent webinars on the 24-Hour approach to care. Over the past 3 months, we’ve examined the impact this can have on person-centred care, manual handling, clinical reasoning, tissue viability and postural care.
This chatty, podcast-style webinar offers a relaxed and interactive space to revisit the most important clinical messages from the quarter. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance and during the session, creating an opportunity to explore real-world challenges, clarify key concepts, and deepen understanding of best practice when supporting individuals within the 24-Hour period.
We will also highlight relevant intervention solutions and explore practical strategies for teaching and supporting others, and we will share our 24-Hour care guide with attendees after the session to support ongoing learning and application in practice.
Whether you joined us throughout the series or are looking for a concise and practical summary, this session will consolidate learning and provide actionable insights to apply in practice.

More than management: benefits of early recognition and intervention in adult dysphagia
Dysphagia affects millions of adults and is associated with significant health risks, including reduced quality of life, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, dehydration and avoidable hospital admissions. While assessment and management of established dysphagia are well recognised, it is clear that a proactive MDT approach can support longer term health outcomes.
This webinar explores some of the evidence underpinning this proactive approach. We will examine risk factors for dysphagia, recognise early clinical indicators, and consider how timely intervention can reduce complications and support person-centred care. The session will also highlight the role of multidisciplinary working, oral health, nutrition, rehabilitation, and education in preventing dysphagia-related morbidity.
