title: Pressure sore prevention.
abstract: This article was presented in a clear and easy to understand manner and was therefore particularly helpful, not only in refreshing one's knowledge, but also in teaching care staff. I'm sure that when the care staff understand the importance of moving patients regularly, toileting them frequently, encouraging a well-balanced diet high in vitamins, protein and fibre, and drinking at least 1500mls of fluid daily, this will not only contribute to the prevention of pressure problems but help to ensure each patient receives a high standard of care.
