#stopthepressure Breakfast
Tuesday 23 October 2018 | 7.30am to 10.30am
The Old Brewery
Our campaign #stopthepressure was launched with a mission to stop pressure injuries from happening in our healthcare industry.
Pressure injuries are the 3rd most costly health condition behind cardiovascular disease and cancer. They are preventable causes of pain, suffering and loss of life.
#stopthepressure is an initiative by Unicare Health to reinforce the message delivered at the recent 20th Annual Meeting of European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel in Rome (EPUAP 2018) – Interdisciplinary teamwork and technological innovations: A winning approach to pressure ulcer management.
The aim of this breakfast was to integrate corporate and clinical boundaries by delivering education and the latest solutions in pressure injury prevention and management
#stopthepressure breakfast saw the gathering and support from management teams of hospitals, leading aged care and disability groups, clinical educators and procurement teams, senior therapists, equipment evaluators and other leading organizations that have been working in partnership with Unicare Health through the years.
Unicare Health’s occupational therapist and trainer, Annette Terranova, shared her learnings from Rome and discussed clinical updates and new methods of pressure care from the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel EPUAP 2018. She also talked about the importance of multidisciplinary organizational approach towards pressure injury prevention & management.
Joining us from Sweden, our guest speaker Stephen Laidlaw from Care of Sweden – Europe’s leading manufacturer of the world’s best pressure care products, talked about innovations in pressure care mattress technology and provided an insightful presentation on the features of the world’s best pressure care mattress system.
Thank you for your support
Unicare Health would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend our #stopthepressure breakfast. We have been thrilled by the positive feedback received and glad for the opportunity to lead the way in delivering world class pressure care solutions in Australia.
We trust that our teachings will impact the way pressure injury management is addressed to achieve long term positive outcomes.
