Pressure Ulcers: Monitoring, Reporting & Improvement

This Conference is now Closed

Follow this event on Twitter #StopThePressure

“Pressure ulcers are a key indicator of the quality and experience of patient care. Despite progress since 2012 in the management of pressure ulcers they remain a significant healthcare problem, with over 1,300 new ulcers reported each month with up to 200,000 people developing a new pressure ulcer in 2017/18. Treating pressure ulcers costs the NHS more than £1.4 million every day (Guest et al 2017).We know that many pressure ulcers are preventable, so when they do occur they can have a profound impact on the overall wellbeing of patients and can be both painful and debilitating. Preventing them will improve care for all vulnerable patients.”

NHS Improvement November 2018

“A plan and a communications strategy have been developed to support implementation of the recommendations in practice and, it is hoped, start standardising how pressure ulcers are defined, measured and reported. National roll-out is planned to start in April 2019”

Jacqui Fletcher is senior clinical nurse advisor; Jennie Hall is programme director/strategic nurse adviser; both at Stop the Pressure, NHS Improvement, Nursing Times 2018

“We anticipate that full implementation will improve understanding of the level of pressure damage harm”

Ruth May Executive Director of Nursing, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer and National Director for Infection Prevention and Control, NHS Improvement June 2018
