Title: The Power of Prevention
Synopsis: It seems so obvious that you would presume healthcare systems around the world to have prioritised care according to this logic for centuries. Yet, it’s not until recent years, driven by the escalating trend of more patients to treat with less available resources, that we see a global shift towards prevention. In this interactive session we invite you to explore the power of pressure ulcer prevention with us. On stage, five renowned speakers will share insights on the current state, best practices, and opportunities with pressure ulcer prevention in Europe moving forward.
