Description
Could you spot the early signs of a pressure ulcer before it worsens? Pressure injuries can develop quickly, but with the right knowledge they’re often preventable. Our Pressure Area Care Course helps you recognise risks early, prevent pressure damage and support effective wound management with confidence.
Designed for nurses, healthcare assistants, care workers and other health and social care professionals, this course covers the essentials of pressure ulcer prevention, tissue viability and wound care. You’ll learn how to assess skin integrity, identify pressure ulcer stages, carry out risk assessments and implement person-centred prevention strategies.
Explore key topics including the TIME framework, repositioning plans, pressure-relieving equipment, nutrition and hydration, moisture management, dressing selection, infection prevention, wound assessment and clinical documentation. You’ll also strengthen your understanding of multidisciplinary working and best practice for supporting people at risk of pressure injuries.
The course reflects recognised UK guidance, including NICE, NHS England, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the National Wound Care Strategy Programme, helping you build knowledge aligned with current professional standards.
Study online at your own pace with 24/7 access and dedicated learner support. Upon completion, you can purchase a CPD-accredited certificate to demonstrate your learning. This is a knowledge-based online course designed to strengthen understanding and support professional development. Enrol today and build your confidence in evidence-based pressure area care.
