This session brings together the key themes explored across our recent webinars on sleeping in a riser recliner. Over the past 3 months, we’ve examined the impact of sleeping in a riser recliner on sleep hygiene, comfort, confidence, transfers, mobility, pain management, and tissue viability.
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 who sleep in a riser recliner.
We will also highlight relevant intervention solutions and explore practical strategies for teaching and supporting others, and we will share our Sleeping in a Riser Recliner Guide with attendees after the session to support ongoing learning and application in practice.
