Pressure Sore Awareness

The purpose of this Pressure Sore Training Course is to equip participants with comprehensive knowledge about pressure sores. It covers what a pressure ulcer is, how it develops, who is most at risk, the warning signs, and effective treatment methods. This course is ideal for care workers, home caregivers, support workers, care assistants, or anyone in the health and social care sector.

Individuals in care face a significantly high risk of developing pressure sores, which can gradually worsen, often leading to infections and other medical complications, causing considerable discomfort. There is no justifiable reason for a person receiving medical or social care to suffer from pressure wounds or injuries. By understanding who is at high risk and performing the appropriate checks, you can significantly improve an individual's quality of life.
