This workshop is aimed at home care workers, care assistants, student nurses, AHPs and nursing auxiliaries. Pressure Ulcers are preventable and care staff have a crucial role to play in protecting those in your care from considerable pain and in worse case scenarios amputation. This session will cover how pressure ulcers develop, identifying patients/clients at risk, assessing a patient’s skin and how to prevent them. It will be delivered by Jennifer Mullan, Tissue Viability Nurse, Western Trust
