Pressure Sores
One of the problems associated with surgery or long-term illness is immobility. For hospital patients any period of immobilisation is usually assessed and steps taken to avoid complications such as pressure sores.
Unfortunately however, despite shorter hospital admissions and treatment by physiotherapists and nurses, some patients do develop serious pressure sores. Once identified these are often successfully treated, but in rare cases they go un-noticed, or untreated or both.
This can result in serious and even fatal consequences for the patient.
