title: Silent epidemic.
abstract: While congratulations are in order for Pam Hibbs' article 'Preventing an unnecessary evil' (Nursing Standard weekending December 5) in which she wrote of her successful campaign against pressure sores, is there not also another 'silent epidemic' in this respect, which was not highlighted or even mentioned in the article?
