Course program
Pressure damage in most cases can be avoided, yet the incidence of pressure damage remains high in all health care settings. This therefore leaves health professionals and organisations at risk of litigation and/ or loss of registration. Litigation in this area is increasing each year. The costs of treating pressure ulcers are high in terms of nursing time; hospital admissions with high financial costs in terms of wound care products, treatments and antibiotics.
This course will give delegates an awareness of those patients/clients at risk of pressure damage and will provide them with national and European guidance on preventative measures to minimise the incidence rates. This in turn will reduce costs and the risk of litigation as the incidence of pressure ulcers will be reduced with this knowledge.
