Pressure Ulcer Info App
An app has been developed for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers by a team from Society & Health, working with the NHS and Social Service partners as well as the private and independent sector in North West London, through funding from Health Education North West London. The app accesses a range of educational materials for patients and carers (family, domiciliary, care homes).
