The EPUAP offers free resources on its website to encourage participation and highlight the need for proactive pressure care. LINET UK is proud to support this initiative through our ongoing working relationship with many NHS Trusts across the UK, sharing our expertise, knowledge, and educational resources to advance pressure ulcer prevention across healthcare settings, amplifying our ongoing commitment to supporting Pressure Care all year round

As International Stop The Pressure Day 2024 nears, LINET is once again joining forces with hospitals across our working NHS Trust contracts to raise awareness and encourage innovation in pressure ulcer prevention. This initiative, endorsed by the EPUAP, highlights the crucial role of pressure injury prevention and management in healthcare. With research showing that up to 95% of pressure ulcers are preventable, the need for awareness and early intervention has never been greater for both patients and healthcare providers.

LINET’s Year-Round Dedication to Pressure Care

LINET’s commitment to NHS partners goes beyond this annual event. All year long, LINET collaborates with NHS Trusts through tailored contracts, ongoing education, hands-on support and supporting topical events, helping to make quality pressure care a consistent priority. Our Clinical Nurse Advisors, Contract managers and Territory Sales Representatives work closely with our healthcare professionals to reinforce best practices and provide effective pressure care solutions.

Activities taking place on International Stop The Pressure week

Leading up to November 21, LINET will be on-site within our NHS Contracts, engaging in interactive and informative activities that support hands-on education and awareness:

• Showcase Areas: We’ll support dedicated visual displays within the hospital featuring Stop the Pressure campaign materials and information on our latest pressure care advancements designed for effective pressure relief and redistribution. Passers by can access resources, grab goodies and speak to our experts about pressure care initiatives
• Supporting Key Product Education and Study Days: Our teams will help share any educational materials, including documentation and videos that will help attendees understand the features and benefits of LINET’s pressure care solutions also allowing staff to explore our products at their own pace, ask any questions and understand how these innovations support best practices in pressure care.
• Ward Walks: Our representatives will join clinical staff on ward rounds, offering real-time education and support. These sessions ensure that healthcare teams have access to the latest knowledge on pressure care, bringing expertise directly to the bedside where it matters most.

At LINET, we are dedicated to fostering partnerships that improve patient outcomes. Through accessible resources, real-time education, and the latest in pressure care technology, we support healthcare teams in their efforts to prevent pressure injuries. By aligning with the EPUAP and NHS Trusts on Stop The Pressure Day, we aim to raise the profile of best practices for pressure injury prevention, with the ultimate goal of making every pressure injury preventable.
