After all the hard work yesterday (&the rest of the week for many) it has to be said how amazing #tissueviability nurses are, the energy and creativity they put in to #stopthepressure day was beyond belief - and they are already talking about being bigger and better next year!

Ward 22, RVI is a busy Orthopaedic Trauma ward. Staff there know that pressure damage can occur within a few hours of patients becoming immobile - they know what to do to reduce the risks - do you? 🔴 #StopThePressure
