Pressure ulcers are associated with mortality, are costly to the healthcare system, can develop quickly and heal slowly—and are preventable.

Professor Sherry Morrell will explore best practices in their prevention and care in a free public session on Monday, February 10, entitled “Skin Integrity and Patient Safety.”

This interprofessional educational event is offered under the auspices of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Open School for Health Professionals. It runs 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in room 203, Toldo Health Education Centre. Please register in advance using this online form.
