title: No degrees - and no pressure areas either.
abstract: The articles by Stephen Wright (perspectives February 13) and Miles Maylor (tissue viability supplement) struck a note with me. I have no problem with degrees or, for that matter, any training that will improve patient care but, as a matron/manager of a nursing home, I am dismayed at the condition of the pressure areas of some patients who are admitted from hospitals.
