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. The official guidelines can be found on the Tissue Viability Society Website
