Costs for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers have
increased significantly and there is limited published advice from
health and social care organisations on seating and preventing pressure
ulcers. At the request of the UK
Tissue Viability Society the aim of the video was to develop a practical
guide for people, carers and health and social care professionals on
how the research and evidence base on pressure ulcer prevention and
management can be applied to those who remain seated for extended
periods of time. This video includes interviews with some of the
stakeholders.
