STOP the Pressure

The Society has been collaborating with The National Wound Care Strategy Programme (NWCSP) and all #4nations for STOP the Pressure week over recent years with representatives from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You can browse some of the fantastic content we have created. For 2024 our theme will continue to be ‘Every Contact Counts’ with a focus on diversity and inclusion.

‘Every contact counts’

• 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

When

International Stop the Pressure Day is Thursday 21 November.

We are also busy planning a week’s programme of activity from Monday 18 November to Friday 22 November – watch out for announcements!
