NWCSP Pressure Ulcer Recommendations
The purpose of these recommendations is to provide clear advice to health and care practitioners, service managers and commissioners about the fundamentals of evidence-informed care for people who have or are at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Implementing these recommendations will achieve better individual outcomes and more effective use of health and social care resources.
The recommendations outline a pathway of care that promotes early risk identification and preventative care, enabling fast access to evidence-informed therapeutic interventions, with escalation of treatment or service provision for people requiring more complex care.
The recommendations offer a framework for the development of local delivery plans that include consideration of:
• Relevant research evidence (where it exists) to inform care.
• Configuration of services and deployment of workforce.
• Appropriate education for that workforce; and
• Relevant metrics to measure quality improvement.
These recommendations signpost to relevant clinical guidelines or outline evidence-informed care that will improve healing and optimise the use of healthcare resources. They do not replace existing local or national evidence-informed clinical guidelines or replace clinical judgement and decision making in relation to the needs of the individual. They are intended for use in all clinical and social care settings and aim to support implementation of evidence-based clinical practice…
