Pressure damage is
everybody’s business
The KSS PSC ‘Pressure Damage is
Everybody’s Business’ conference
in October attracted more than 250
delegates from health and social care
services in Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
The conference provided opportunities
to hear patient stories and share best
practice, as well as to learn from, and
network with, national patient safety
and pressure damage experts.
Delegates also found out more about
the new innovative devices and tools
industry partners are developing to
help reduce pressure damage and
improve patient experience. Workshops
delivered by leaders in their field
included key learning from litigation and
serious incident reviews, nutrition and
hydration, and pressure mapping and
positioning.

workshop resources from the
conference are available on the

more regularly, it’s brilliant.
We wanted to come today to
share what we’ve been doing
around Essex and for people
to take away a little bit of the
knowledge we’ve got.”

everybody cherry picking the bits
they want from everybody else and
also understanding how they can
apply it to where they work and
whichever situation they are in.”

Upcoming events
Ongoing in 2016
Innovation surgeries
Kent, Surrey and Sussex
We host regular innovation surgeries for
companies wishing to further develop
their market access strategies and plans.
We explore, in confidence, where the
peculiarities of the NHS (or wider health
system) and its financial mechanisms are
likely to impact on their plans and advise
on potential remedies. The surgeries are
intended for companies with products or
services on market or ready for market. They
help us identify products of potential interest
to our member organisations.
Next dates are:
• Guildford on 25 January 2016
• Crawley on 27 January
• Kent on 28 January.
