Frequently asked questions

We've answered the most common Pressure Care and Moisture Lesion questions our training experts get asked.

What is a pressure ulcer?

What Is a Moisture Lesion?

Moisture lesions are an injury that occurs on the skin and occurs by exposure to excessive moisture from urine, faeces, sweat and weeping wounds.

Who is most at risk of getting pressure ulcers?

Anyone can get a pressure ulcer, but the following things can make them more likely to occur:

  • Being confined to bed with illness or after surgery
  • Inability to move some or all of the body (paralysis)
  • Obesity
  • Urinary incontinence and bowel incontinence
  • Medical conditions that affect blood supply, make skin more fragile or cause movement problems
  • Being over 70 – older people are more likely to have mobility problems and skin that's more easily damaged through dehydration and other factors
How to put pressure care training into practice? Some ways to put pressure care training into practice are by changing the patients' positions, checking the skin for signs of an ulcer, and ensuring they have a healthy balanced diet. With the correct pressure care training and putting this training into everyday practice, pressure ulcers can be avoided. 
How often should healthcare staff workers have pressure ulcer training? There is no set time frame for how often healthcare staff workers should have pressure ulcer training, but it is recommended to renew your training annually in order to keep your staff’s knowledge up to date.
What is the importance of pressure ulcer prevention training?

Pressure UIcer Prevention training is important because it teaches staff the correct knowledge and skills to effectively prevent pressure ulcers, how they develop, and how they can be treated.

Not looking after them properly can be life-threatening to the patient because it could lead to blood poisoning and gangrene. It could also be seen as a safeguarding issue as they often develop due to neglect, poor care and not being treated properly.
