Preventing Pressure Damage. Protecting Skin. Promoting Dignity.
Pressure ulcers (also known as pressure sores) can cause significant pain, infection and long-term harm — yet many are preventable with good care practice. Our Pressure Area Care in Health and Social Care course equips care staff with the knowledge, awareness and confidence to recognise risks early, support effective prevention, and respond appropriately to pressure damage concerns. This training helps staff protect individuals’ comfort, dignity and wellbeing while supporting organisations to meet clinical, safeguarding and regulatory expectations.
