Empowering Change: Better Outcomes for Plus-Size Patients in Hospital
In this session, we will explore strategies and practical solutions to improve outcomes for plus-size individuals. Our focus will be on transforming care systems to be more inclusive and effective. Participants will gain insights into best practices, and actionable steps to address the unique health challenges faced by plus-size populations.
Key topics will include:
- Pressure ulcer prevention: considerations to minimise risks and enhance skin health.
- Caregiver injury reduction: effective repositioning and transfer activities to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual and caregivers.
- Workflow optimisation: streamlining processes to improve efficiency and patient / resident care quality.
Join us to engage in an interactive discussion, and leave with practical solutions that can be implemented in your care facilities. Together, we can empower change and promote healthier lives for all.
