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.

24-hour postural care and seating
A thought provoking exploration of postural care and seating, looking at how we can improve people’s quality and length of life by focusing on protection of body shape.
Super-supervision: back to basics with Shaen Milward
This is a practical webinar for both supervisors and supervisees who want to get more from the supervision process, whether they are delivering it, receiving it, or shaping a stronger supervision culture. The session will revisit the core purpose of supervision, explore what makes supervision effective, and consider the attitudes and conversations that help it become a meaningful professional space rather than just a routine meeting. We will cover key functions of supervision, common pitfalls, the shared responsibility of both parties, and simple approaches that support reflective thinking, accountability, professional growth and psychological safety. Suitable for those new to supervision, as well as experienced practitioners wanting to refresh and strengthen their practice.
Prescribing seating for cognitively impaired users: exploring the risks
When prescribing seating, our aim is to meet the needs of the service user by prescribing a chair that will provide the right level of support, enable safe, easier assisted or independent transfers, reduce risk of pressure injuries and enable them to obtain and maintain a good sitting posture in the provided chair. However when a service user has a cognitive impairment and has poor risk awareness, additional risks are present. In this session we aim to outline some of these possible additional risks and how to overcome them to ensure the service user and their carers/family remain as safe as possible when the service user is seated in a chair that is there to meet their needs.
