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.

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.”
