Course Overview

Pressure ulcers are extremely painful, can cause extreme levels of discomfort and pain, and can lead to loss of limbs, or even life, in some cases. Therefore, prevention is a far better alternative than curing. This course will give you the knowledge and skills to recognise the development of a pressure ulcer at its early stages, which can help in reducing chances of infection and serious illness.

Who should complete the course?

This course is ideal for all health, care and wellbeing staff who look after any person at risk.
