Health matters – patient safety

The first talk in the Health Matters 2016 programme – Focus on Patient Safety – Stop the Pressure – will be held next week, on Tuesday 2nd February 2016 and will be presented by Lisa Minshall, Head of Nursing, and Sally Walsh, Tissue Viability Nurse.

This talk will look at the important issue of patient safety in the NHS, with a specific focus on harms to patients caused by pressure ulcers.  The session will also cover East Cheshire NHS Trust commitment to the national initiative ‘Sign up to Safety’.

This session aims to provide an understanding of what causes a pressure ulcer, how it can be prevented, and describe what steps can be taken to reduce the risk of developing a pressure ulcer; as well as giving an overview of patient safety.
