The Presto reveal: our brand-new innovation
Something brand new is coming from Accora- and you can see it first.
The Presto is our groundbreaking innovation: the only bed on the market built around the entire equipment pathway, from prescription and delivery through to installation, maintenance and long-term use.
This session gives you a first look at how a single bed now covers ultra-low to full nursing height, moves and folds in under 30 seconds, and brings postural positioning, pressure area management and a memory function together in one solution- none of it shown publicly before.
The training will be delivered by Jayne Brewer, Occupational Therapist and Nicholas Drake, Category Lead. All attendees will receive a CPD certificate on completion.
Join us live to see the reveal, ask your questions in real time, and be among the very first to see what Presto means for service users, prescribers, technicians, warehouse teams and commissioners.
Learning Outcomes
- Develop an awareness of the functions and features of the Presto.
- Explore the clinical benefits of the Presto and how it supports patient centred care, safer transfers, manual handling practices and clinical interventions across a range of care environments.
- Evaluate how the Presto has been designed to support the entire equipment pathway, from prescription and delivery through to installation and ongoing use, and the benefits this provides for prescribers, technicians, warehouse teams, commissioners and, most importantly, service users.
- Explore how the Presto's positioning functions can support postural management, pressure care, comfort, risk reduction and functional independence, helping to maximise participation in daily activities.

Prevention and early intervention: improving safety at home and reducing hospital admissions
Supporting people to remain safe at home is a key priority across health and social care. Prevention and early intervention focus on identifying risks early and taking action to reduce harm, maintain independence, and avoid escalation of need.
This practical webinar will explore how occupational therapists and clinicians can use early intervention strategies and equipment to reduce risk in the home environment. Using case-based examples, we will demonstrate how simple, timely interventions can prevent falls, reduce functional decline, and support people to remain safely at home for longer.
The session will include live demonstrations using equipment such as the floor bed and specialist seating, linking clinical reasoning to real-world outcomes.
