Pressure ulcers cost the NHS an eye-watering £8.2 billion every year - 700,000 people are affected by them, not just those with spinal cord injury. They are life changing, and can mean months of solid bed rest, as well as potentially dangerous complications⬇️

💬“I see the need for more awareness about different skin colours and how they will represent when there's issues…I don't really hold it against anyone because that knowledge wasn't there, but it is something that needs to be there.”⬇️

🔴Normally, pinkness or redness are an early indication of a pressure ulcer forming but with dark skin tones this often isn't the case. Find out more on our website⬇️

💰Pressure ulcers cost the NHS a LOT of money and 180,000 people are newly diagnosed with them yearly. At a time when the government are trying to cover growing costs, and balance the books we think it's time for a new approach to treating them⬇️ #STOPTHEPRESSURE #CheckEveryTone
For decades, till v recently, consensus medical advice a debilitating, NHS-costly, mostly-preventable condition was... look out for red dots. Visible on white skin.
I am so proud of what we are doing about that.
But also remain horrified. Where else is this happening?

Today is #STOPTHEPRESSURE day - pressure ulcers are a huge issue for people with SCI, yet they should be avoidable. Unfortunately signs of them forming are often not visible on dark skin tones so they can go unnoticed until at a late stage, meaning even longer recovery time⬇️
This week is #STOPthePressure Week - a worldwide campaign to raise awareness of pressure ulcer prevention and management. Our Tissue Viability team are out on the information bus in Gloucestershire. Today they're in Cirencester - why not come and say hello? More here: www.ghc.nhs.uk/news/stop-th...
