Smarter 24-Hour care: applying clinical reasoning to seating and posture
This session will explore the essential components of conducting an effective postural assessment for seating, supporting clinicians to deliver well-informed, person-centred outcomes. It will examine the concept of clinical reasoning- what it is, why it matters, and the importance of taking a systematic approach when assessing for seating. We will consider the importance of using the correct terminology when recording gathered data and how best to present to clearly to justify equipment request.
The webinar will also focus on some examples of assessment findings and share clinically justification for decision making, sharing practical insights, tips, and best practices to strengthen confidence and consistency. Attendees will be guided through the process of gathering and recording critical assessment data, analysing key findings, and translating this information into clear, robust equipment provision recommendations that meet the needs of patients and clients.
De-mystifying mattresses: what you need to know
Are the mattresses in your care setting truly fit for purpose- clinically, legally, and practically? This session will unpack the essential features of pressure prevention mattresses, helping you distinguish between regulatory requirements and optional enhancements. We’ll explore how mattress selection intersects with infection control, medical device regulations, and most importantly- the needs of the people you care for. Whether you're a clinician, manager, or procurement lead, this session will equip you to make safer, smarter choices.
Rethinking falls prevention
Falls prevention remains challenging because interventions do not always translate into safer, more effective movement and participation in everyday care.
This two-part series brings together person-centred clinical reasoning and sensory integration, equipping practitioners to better manage risk, support cooperation during care, and enable meaningful participation.
The webinars will be delivered in English, with optional captions available in Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish.

Clinical reasoning in Allied Health: making our thinking visible with Jenny Rolfe
Clinical reasoning sits at the core of safe and effective healthcare practice. For Occupational Therapists (OTs) and other Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), it underpins everyday clinical decisions- from assessment and intervention planning to risk management and person-centred care.
The swell effect: Starting with legs for patients sleeping in a riser recliner
When a patient presents with swollen legs (oedema), they aren't just carrying extra fluid; they are carrying a heavy burden that threatens their independence and potentially the viability of their skin in terms of leg ulceration and potential pressure damage. If left unmanaged, a "simple" case of swelling can trigger a downward spiral that could end in a total loss of mobility- a state clinicians often call being “off-legs.”
Safe sleep: the Ascenda story
Great products don’t start with technology; they start with people. One of the most common problems occupational therapists face is a client who sleeps in their riser recliner. Typically due to ‘comfort’ or inability to transfer to a bed, this leads to numerous complications in posture, pressure, and in some cases can lead to Lymphedema. Critically, as a result of this, clients face the most challenging complication of all - the absence of independence and dignity.
