Training session
The “All you need to know about Pressure Care in Seating” webinar was scheduled for 29 September 2025, from 11am to 12.30pm. It was intended for occupational therapists, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals involved in seating assessments. People unable to attend live could register to receive a recording at a later date.
Clinical focus
Vivid Care said the session was designed for professionals assessing clients at pressure injury risk, seeking greater confidence in recommendations, or involved in equipment specification and procurement. Guest speaker Joanne McConnell, identified as a Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist, was to cover pressure-care principles, risk assessment and seating decisions, including how pressure, shear, friction and moisture contribute to tissue damage.
Equipment and assessment
The programme was to examine pressure redistribution, postural alignment, cushion technologies, surface materials and tilt-in-space features. Live demonstrations were planned to show specialist seating functions and support decisions about what to specify. Vivid Care also said the webinar would address at-risk populations, UK statistics, assessment techniques and how poor seating choices may accelerate pressure injury development, concluding with an interactive question-and-answer session.
