World Wide Stop Pressure Ulcer Day
World Wide Stop Pressure Ulcer day was celebrated on 16 November 2017.
The Tissue Viability Team marked the occasion by hosting Public Awareness Events in Ards
Shopping Centre to help increase awareness and educate on Pressure Ulcer Prevention and
Management.
As a team we appreciate the importance of caring for these clients in their own homes.
Overall it was a positive step as we were able to interact with many patients, families and carers
who have been or are experiencing such difficulties.
