Summary
Research has shown that frontline staff understand the dangers of pressure sores but experience significant challenges in their attempts to prevent them.
The research, undertaken by NHS Midlands and East and downloadable below, showed that staff feel they do not have the time to treat patients and need improved communication between the patients, their carers and the homes from which they might have come.
In response to this, NHS Midlands and East has created the Pressure Ulcer Path, a tool to support staff in preventing pressure ulcers and treating them, alongside a number of useful resources.
