Abstract

Colleagues from the Society of Tissue Viability have drafted the latest version of a seating guidelines, titled ‘Understanding the association between pressure ulcers and sitting in adults: What does it mean for all of us?’ The Seating guidelines for people, carers, and health & social care professionals. This third iteration of the seating guidelines aims to deliver a practical guide, using the most up to date research and evidence-based practice on pressure ulcer prevention and management. This guide can be applied to those who remain seated for extended periods of time across health and social care settings. The guidelines will be published later this year and we welcome engagement from the Tissue Viability community who will support its application in practice.
