Our theme for the week
‘Every contact counts’
We see this in the following way
- Every contact with a clinician, healthcare professional or carer can help prevent pressure ulcers
- Every contact with a bed, chair or other surface can help prevent pressure ulcers
- Every contact with leaders in healthcare can help prevent pressure ulcers
- Every contact on social media or traditional media can help prevent pressure ulcers
