The SEAMLESS team have been undertaking an evaluation of Continuous Pressure Monitoring Technology for Pressure Ulcer Prevention. This includes realist evaluation across 4 community sites, co-design of new innovations through Appreciative Inquiry and a final human factors clinical trial exploring implementation of the technology.

The team have developed a number of tools to support its use in practice, including training, implementation guides and novel algorithms which predict posture, mobility and pressure exposure to aid clinical decisions. The studies have revealed the power of biofeedback to support shared decisions and the key steps that are required to support technology integration into community practice settings.

Most clinicians who try AI walk away unimpressed, and it usually isn't the tool's fault. It's the prompt. This session starts from the ground up with a plain-language explanation of what AI actually is and how these tools work, so anyone who missed part 1 can follow from the first slide. From there we build a simple, repeatable framework for writing prompts that produce genuinely useful clinical output instead of generic filler.

The majority of the session is hands-on, with prompts built, broken and rebuilt in real time: turning messy notes into a summary worth sharing with a team, and building a clear explanation that is then adapted for a different audience and a different reading level. We will also cover the skills that matter most for safe use: letting AI write and improve its own prompts, grounding answers in real documents so the tool cannot invent things, spotting hallucinations, and recognising when AI is simply the wrong tool. Every demonstration is run without any patient information, and the reasoning behind that is part of the teaching. GDPR, confidentiality and professional judgement run throughout.

In this webinar, we'll introduce the Configura Advance, exploring its advanced adjustability and user-focused innovation.

We'll provide an overview of key features, including integrated size adjustments across every dimension and a range of backrest upgrade options. As our most configurable and recyclable chair yet, the Advance is the optimal choice for clients with complex postural requirements.

The session will examine how these features work together to support safe transfers, promote healthy posture, protect skin integrity, and maintain comfort, stability, and independence throughout the day.

This November, the Stop the Pressure campaign asks us to think about movement, and the message is that every move matters. From repositioning and mobilisation through to early intervention and collaborative care, each decision we make has the potential to prevent pressure damage.

In this session we look at the six action areas at the heart of this year's campaign: physical, clinical, team, environmental, smart and patient moves. We will explore what each one looks like in day to day practice, where the common barriers sit, and the practical changes that make the biggest difference to the people you support.

Whether you work in hospital, community or care home settings, you will leave with actions you can apply straight away.

This session brings together the key themes explored across our recent webinars on 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 within tissue viability.

We will also highlight relevant intervention solutions and explore practical strategies for teaching and supporting others, and we will share our tissue viability guide with attendees after the session to support ongoing learning and application in practice.

Whether you joined us throughout the series or are looking for a concise and practical summary, this session will consolidate learning and provide actionable insights to apply in practice.

Pressure damage prevention usually focuses on what we put around a person: the mattress, the cushion, the repositioning schedule. Far less attention goes to the person's own capacity to move, and yet that capacity is one of the strongest protective factors they have.

Someone who can shift their weight in a chair, reposition in bed or stand and walk is offloading their own tissue constantly. When strength and mobility decline, that natural protection disappears, and the risk picture changes quickly. Loss of muscle bulk also changes what sits between bone and skin, altering how pressure is distributed over the areas we worry about most.

In this session we look at strength and movement as a tissue viability intervention. We will explore how deconditioning and frailty affect skin and tissue tolerance, why periods of illness, admission or reduced activity can shift someone into a higher risk category faster than expected, and what that means for assessment and care planning.

We will also cover the practical side: how to build movement and strengthening into daily care, how seating and beds can either enable or prevent independent repositioning, and how to work with people and carers so movement becomes part of prevention.

Suitable for Tissue Viability Nurses, Occupational Therapists, nurses and anyone involved in pressure damage prevention.
