Pressure injuries, a prevalent concern in both hospital and long-term care settings, result from localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue, primarily occurring over bony prominences or related to medical devices. These injuries can lead to a significant reduction in the patient’s quality of life, impose substantial costs on both patients and the healthcare system, and even increase morbidity and mortality.This activity provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary for prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of pressure injuries. Furthermore, the course covers deep tissue pressure injuries that can occur without prominent overlying skin ulceration, providing clinicians with the latest insights into classification and management. The activity also emphasizes the crucial role of the interprofessional healthcare team in improving patient care and preventing these injuries.
