Stop the Pressure 2023

Pressure ulcers are a concerning and largely avoidable harm associated with healthcare delivery (NHS Improvement, 2018)

STOP the Pressure Week 13-17 November 2023

The Society is collaborating with The National Wound Care Strategy Programme (NWCSP) and all #4nations for STOP the Pressure week with representatives from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We are extremely excited about this collaborative campaign 🙂

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

Industry support for the campaign

This year we are offering an industry sponsorship option of the 4 nations #STOPTHEPRESSURE campaign

  • The cost is £495 per company
  • The number of sponsors is limited to 12
