Join us for the third insightful and informative professional development (CPD) series, "OT Cadets Course', as we delve into the essential topic of pressure injuries and their prevention.

Occupational therapy intervention, management, and prevention of pressure injuries play an important role in a client’s overall care management, comfort, and mobility. Anytime we lie or sit down in the same position for a period of time, pressure is applied to different parts of the body. Anything that has continuous contact with the skin has the potential to cause a pressure injury.

The purpose of Pressure Care is to maintain the health and integrity of the skin and to prevent breakdown and the development of pressure injuries. In this insightful and informative seminar, you will learn about the risk factors in both sitting and lying that make an individual more susceptible to developing pressure injuries, changes in skin condition to look out for and how to position individuals to reduce pressure.

This workshop will also explore the latest research methods to combat pressure injuries, the causes and progression of pressure injuries and how they influence your clinical justifications. You will also delve deeper into different pressure care support surfaces and examine how these products provide optimal pressure care and comfort as well as prevention from pressure injury.

All attendees will receive an attendance certificate for their professional development requirements.
