Description
A small red mark missed on one shift can turn into a deep wound by the next. That is why pressure ulcer management starts long before any damage appears. This is where our Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management course from High Skills Training helps you spot risk early and act with confidence.
This course is designed for senior carers, nurses, nursing associates and healthcare assistants who check skin every day. It’s equally useful for team leaders responsible for pressure care on their unit. You begin with the basics: how skin protects itself, how damage starts and how pressure ulcers are staged.
From there, you learn to assess risk using validated tools and the TIME framework. You then explore prevention, including repositioning plans, pressure-relief equipment and moisture control. Finally, you look at wound healing, UK law and scope of practice, including when to call in specialist support. This results in safer care, clearer records and the confidence to act early.
High Skills Training lets you study at your own pace, around your working week, with 24/7 dedicated learner support. With a 14-day money-back guarantee, you can enrol without risk. On successful completion, you will earn a FREE Digital Certificate. Don’t wait for the next missed red mark. Start our Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management course today.
