Description

Individuals receiving care are highly susceptible to developing pressure sores, which can lead to infections and various medical complications, significantly impacting their comfort and well-being. Preventing pressure wounds should be a priority in medical and social care settings, as there is no justification for individuals under care to suffer from such injuries. By identifying high-risk individuals and conducting appropriate assessments, caregivers can greatly enhance the quality of life for those they serve.

Our Pressure Sore Awareness training course is designed to educate learners on the fundamentals of pressure ulcers. Participants will gain insight into the formation of pressure ulcers, risk factors associated with their development, warning signs to watch for, and proper treatment methods. Through this course, caregivers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively prevent and manage pressure sores, ensuring the well-being of those in their care.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
