Description
Did you know that pressure ulcers affect thousands of people across the UK every year, yet many can be prevented with the right care? Missing the early signs of pressure damage can lead to avoidable pain, longer recovery times, and serious complications. Our CPD-accredited Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management Training gives you the knowledge to recognise risks early, support skin integrity, and provide safer, person-centred care.
Designed mainly for care workers, this course is also suitable for healthcare assistants, support workers, senior carers, nurses, domiciliary care workers, and other health and social care professionals. You’ll build essential knowledge of pressure ulcer prevention, tissue viability care, skin assessment, repositioning techniques, pressure-relieving equipment, wound assessment, infection prevention, nutrition and hydration, and effective documentation. You’ll also explore the TIME Framework and recognised pressure ulcer risk assessment tools that support good practice in health and social care.
Completing this Prevention and Management of Pressure Ulcers Training will help you feel more confident identifying pressure damage, supporting effective pressure ulcer management, and contributing to better outcomes for those in your care. This knowledge-based course also strengthens your understanding of multidisciplinary working, timely escalation, and person-centred care while supporting your day-to-day responsibilities.
The course aligns with NICE guidance, Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards, NHS best practice, and the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, strengthening compliance, professional confidence, and proactive care planning across residential, community, and health and social care settings.
With continued demand for skilled care professionals across the UK, expanding your knowledge can support your professional development and demonstrate your commitment to high-quality care. Care Skills Training offers flexible online learning, and after successfully completing the course, you can purchase a CPD-accredited certificate to showcase your achievement. There are also offer for team training to help organisations build a knowledgeable, confident workforce committed to safer pressure ulcer prevention and management.
Develop the knowledge to help prevent pressure ulcers, support effective management, and deliver safer, more confident care every day with our Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management Training. Start the course today.
