Practical strategies for implementing pressure injury prevention and management best practices for occupational therapists (November 16, 2021)

Pressure injuries are common across health care settings, and the prevention and management of pressure injuries requires an interprofessional approach. The vision of the Canadian Pressure Injury Advisory Panel is a Canada without preventable pressure injuries.  Achieving this vision is not possible without the unique skill set of occupational therapists.  As pressure injuries are common, occupational therapists need to be equipped with practical strategies to implement with their clients across settings.

This webinar will explore the top ten pressure injury prevention and management strategies that occupational therapists should incorporate into their practice across settings, and how to adapt these strategies for their individual client’s circumstances.

After taking part in this webinar, participants will be able to: 

1. Identify ten pressure injury prevention and management strategies.
2. Adapt three pressure injury prevention and management strategies to their own clients.
3. Recognize their role in the prevention and management of pressure injuries in their setting.
