NICE guidelines 2014 - full guide
This guideline covers risk assessment, prevention and treatment in children, young people and adults at risk of, or who have, a pressure ulcer (also known as bedsore or pressure sore). It aims to reduce the number of pressure ulcers in people admitted to secondary or tertiary care or receiving NHS care in other settings, such as primary and community care and emergency departments.
European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP)
The EPUAP goal is to provide relief for persons suffering from, or at risk of, pressure ulcers, through research and the education of the public and by influencing pressure ulcer policy in all European countries towards adequate patient-centred and cost-effective pressure ulcer care. The EPUAP involves people working in the field as doctors, nurses and other health professionals, but also members working in research and education or in industry. The overall aim is to find out what is the best way to prevent and treat pressure ulcers.
This updated volume provides the current knowledge on the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of pressure ulcers. Chapters on the early detection of pressure ulcers, negative pressure therapy, pressure ulcers in pediatric patients, adjunctive therapies, surgical management of pressure ulcers, and innovation in pressure ulcer research and practice are included. This second edition aims to be the primary reference for pressure ulcers from diagnosis and prevention to management and treatment options. The book is relevant to dermatology clinicians, vascular surgeons, and dermatology nurses.
National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP)
