Pressure Area Care Training

Pressure ulcers occur when a localised area of skin and underlying tissue becomes damaged due to pressure, friction, or shear. Most sores can be prevented. Attending delegates will gain a thorough understanding of the subject to help them minimise opportunity for ulcer formation and optimise any required treatment for the persons in their care.

80-95% of pressure sores are avoidable. 700,000 people are affected annually. (N.H.S)
