30 March 2022, 12.30 pm – 4.00 pm
Our (Society of Tissue Viability) educational sessions promote the best practices in skin health and wound healing.
It’s estimated that just under half a million people in the UK will develop at least one pressure ulcer in any given year. These wounds cause pain and suffering and impact significantly on a person’s quality of life. The financial impact to the NHS is approximately £2.2 billion a year and the costs of litigation is rising annually.
