Pressure ulcer prevention – Purpose T assessment for children with complex needs

Abstract

LTHT was the first Trust in the UK to trial and roll out PURPOSE T. This presentation will go through this Trust’s experience of rolling out of Purpose T, which then was adapted for Paediatrics, working in partnership with Leeds University. This was piloted and following feedback amendments were made and successfully rolled our across our Children’s Hospital.
