Stop the Pressure

Practical Pressure Ulcer Prevention in Care

Wednesday 11 November 2026 | 1:00–2:00pm | Online via Microsoft Teams

Pressure care can be complex, but understanding the risks and getting the basics right can make a real difference.

Join Medaco for a practical, educational webinar focused on pressure ulcer prevention in care settings.

We’ll look at the causes and risks of pressure damage, practical prevention strategies and what to consider when choosing pressure care equipment and support surfaces.

This is an educational session designed to provide practical advice rather than a product-led sales presentation.

What we’ll cover

Understanding pressure damage
What causes pressure ulcers, who is most at risk and the early signs to look out for.

Prevention in practice
Practical considerations around positioning, repositioning, skin inspection, mobility, nutrition and hydration.

Choosing the right support surface
What to consider when assessing pressure care needs, different types of support surfaces and when equipment may need to be reviewed.

A practical care scenario
We’ll work through a real-life style scenario and look at the different factors a care team should consider.

Your questions
There will be time at the end for you to ask questions and discuss pressure care challenges you’re experiencing.
