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.

From assessment to application: mastering toiletting slings and standing hoists
This webinar provides occupational therapists with evidence-based guidance on the safe and effective use of toiletting slings and standing hoists in clinical and community settings. Participants will explore clinical reasoning for equipment selection, correct application techniques, and common risks associated with misuse. Through practical examples and problem-solving scenarios, the session will support therapists to optimise client safety, dignity, and functional participation while reducing the risk of injury to clients and carers.
Good skin care guidance
Our skin acts as a barrier to our internal systems that are essential for our health and well-being. Within this webinar you will learn about taking positive steps to ensure you are doing all you can for your patients to improve their skin integrity and give the best outcome to prevent any breakdown.
We are all on the same team: overcoming communication challenges between Occupational Therapists and nursing staff in nursing homes
Specialist seating and bed positioning are critical interventions for maintaining resident comfort, preventing pressure injuries, optimising posture, and promoting participation in daily activities. Due to the amount of staff working in a nursing home, it is common to encounter challenges in ensuring these recommendations are consistently implemented following clinical handover to nursing staff. Factors such as staff turnover, competing clinical priorities, limited understanding of positioning principles, and ineffective communication from both sides can result in inconsistent practice and reduced therapeutic outcomes.
This webinar will explore the barriers to successful implementation of specialist seating and bed positioning recommendations, identify strategies for effective interdisciplinary communication, and discuss practical approaches to embedding these interventions into routine nursing care to improve resident safety and quality of life.
