Pressure Area Care Overview
Pressure ulcers are a common but preventable issue in care settings, and effective management begins with education. Our pressure care awareness course gives care professionals the knowledge they need to understand how pressure ulcers develop, how to assess and manage the risks, and how to promote best practices in skin integrity and care planning.
Learners will explore pressure ulcer stages, skin anatomy, contributing risk factors, and the aSSKINg approach to prevention. The course is ideal for care workers and support staff looking to expand their clinical awareness and maintain high standards of patient safety. Fully CPD-certified, the training is accessible online and includes a knowledge check to consolidate key learning.
