It’s that time of year again — time to get creative, do things a bit differently and raise the profile of Pressure Ulcer Prevention. 

This year NHS England and NHS Improvement have teamed up with the Tissue Viability Society to put together and deliver resources to support clinicians around the theme of ‘Love Great Skin’. This was chosen as it applies to all, skin is a universal concept! So whether you deal with children, adults, mental health patients, end of life care or whatever we can all focus on the promotion of healthy skin, it doesn’t matter what colour the skin is, what condition it starts off in, if your focus is just on legs — or you mainly see bottoms — we can aim to have great skin all round and as a bonus great skin is a benefit for patients generally and for those with or at risk of wounds of every other aetiology — so it’s a win all round.
