Pressure ulcers remain a large problem in health and social care settings, with the NHS spending an estimated £600 million per year on pressure ulcer treatments. The development of pressure ulcers could be classified as neglect under safeguarding systems because, with awareness and training, good moving and handling techniques and effective skin care, they are straightforward to prevent.
This course reinforces to learners the importance of avoiding this painful problem, recognising pressure areas and how to prevent ulcers.
Successful completion of this training course will result in the award of a CPD accredited certificate covering all aspects of the above course contents.
