Pressure Ulcers Monitoring, Reporting & Improvement: Implementing the 2018 NHS Improvement Recommendations

Pressure Ulcers Monitoring, Reporting & Improvement: Implementing the 2018 NHS Improvement Recommendations is organized by Healthcare (HC) - UK Conferences and will be held on Dec 06, 2018 at thestudio, Manchester, England, United Kingdom.

Conference Description:
This conference focuses on monitoring, reporting and improvement of pressure ulcers in line with the June 2018 NHS Improvement recommendations on revised definition and measurement.

"Pressure ulcers remain a challenge for the patients who develop them and the healthcare professionals involved in their prevention and management. Despite extensive prevention programmes, evidence suggests about 1,700 to 2,000 patients a month develop pressure ulcers” NHS Improvement June 2018

“Pressure ulcers remain a concerning and mainly avoidable harm associated with healthcare delivery. In the NHS in England, 24,674 patients1 were reported to have developed a new pressure ulcer between April 2015 and March 2016, and treating pressure damage costs the NHS more than £3.8 million every day. Finding ways to improve the prevention of pressure damage is therefore a priority for policy-makers, managers and practitioners alike.” Ruth May Executive Director of Nursing, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer and National Director for Infection Prevention and Control, NHS Improvement June 2018
