Event details
The sessions are scheduled for 25 and 26 November 2026 at the NEC Birmingham, where visitors can attend at Etac’s Stand G40. The exhibition opens at 9am. The programme is intended for healthcare professionals and will address practical considerations in bathroom routines and patient handling equipment selection.
Safer bathroom routines
Tove Filipsson, Etac AB’s Clinical Education Manager, will lead Hygiene without hazards: Clinical approaches and solutions for safer bathroom routines. The session will examine why bathroom-related accidents occur, risks during hygiene and toileting, and ways to identify and reduce those risks. It will also introduce Etac’s next-generation Swift 3 commode chair and its features.
Patient handling selection
Anette Repenning Raun, International Product Manager for Patient Handling at Etac Immedia A/S, will present Right sheet, right patient. The session will discuss choosing between the Immedia 4WayGlide System and SatinSheet according to clinical needs, including pressure injuries, poor skin integrity, sensory or behavioural issues, bariatric requirements and uneven weight distribution. It will also cover ergonomic considerations, practical handling techniques and evidence-based findings. Bathroom sessions run four times across both days; the patient-handling sessions follow a separate timetable.
