Best practice statement of the prevention of pressure ulcers.
The Nursing and Midwifery Development Unit, Scotland, has developed a range of best practice statements, one of which relates to the prevention of pressure ulcers. The development of the statement involved achieving a consensus as to what constituted best practice in this field among the 30 nurse specialists in tissue viability working within Scotland. The statement aims to provide practical, relevant and factual information to guide pressure ulcer prevention practice.
