title: Pressure area care in A&E.
abstract: Although the literature specific to A&E and pressure sores is scant, Nicola Wickham argues that the treatment of pressure sores is fundamental to nursing care in any work area. In this first of a two part series she reviews the literature available in pressure area care, and discusses the importance of early intervention in treating this highly preventable condition.
