  • Staging gives a description of the stages of pressure sores, what to look for and the average healing time.
  • Prevention has information on the importance of prevention, warning signs and things you can do to prevent pressure sores.
  • Pressure relief gives details of how to do pressure relief exercises in a wheelchair and tips on how to relieve pressure in bed. 
  • Management includes information on what do you if you notice warning signs, healing wounds, complications and reassessing risk.
