How to configure a chair for my client: plus size users

This session will explore the essential components of conducting an effective postural assessment for seating, supporting clinicians to deliver well-informed, person-centred outcomes. It will examine the concept of clinical reasoning- what it is, why it matters, and the importance of taking a systematic approach when assessing for seating. We will consider the importance of using the correct terminology when recording gathered data and how best to present to clearly to justify equipment request.

The webinar will also focus on some examples of assessment findings and share clinically justification for decision making, sharing practical insights, tips, and best practices to strengthen confidence and consistency. Attendees will be guided through the process of gathering and recording critical assessment data, analysing key findings, and translating this information into clear, robust equipment provision recommendations that meet the needs of patients and clients.

We look at several aspects of infection prevention and control that are crucial to patient / client safety.  Evonne will explain  how micro-organisms behave, their capability of surviving in the environment and the modes of transmission.  We then assess the risks in what we do, and what we need to do in order to prevent the risk of new infections spreading to both the patient / client and ourselves.

By considering the changes that happen to us when we age and careful thought in the contents of the brief, we can produce interiors and environments that can enhance the experience of residents in our Care Homes. In this webinar we discuss those changes and the various ways to produce good interiors.
