Teach pressure ulcer prevention with this editable Care Ready Solutions pack for health and social care educators and workplace trainers.

Five core files included

• 14-slide Pressure Ulcer Prevention course
• 19-slide Trainer’s Edition with delivery prompts, indicative answers and workbook links
• 9-page learner workbook with activities, knowledge check and reflection
• Extra 42-page Teacher and Trainer Toolkit
• Separate editable certificate of completion template

All five core files are editable PowerPoint (.pptx) resources. The toolkit contains generic blank forms to customise for planning, attendance, learner records, assessment and feedback. It is not 42 pages of pressure-ulcer-specific lessons or completed clinical assessments.

Bonus resource
A separate seven-page Pressure Area Care Observation Checklist PDF supports local observation, feedback and action planning. It requires an appropriately qualified, authorised observer and does not independently establish clinical competence. The PDF is a printable supporting form; the five core files remain editable PowerPoint resources.

Topics covered
Pressure and shear, risk factors and common sites, medical devices, recognising early changes across skin tones, an overview of pressure ulcer categories, SSKIN, individual repositioning plans, assessed equipment, skin care, nutrition and hydration, immediate reporting, safeguarding and openness.

Use the course for staff induction, awareness refreshers or health and social care teaching. Adapt examples, local reporting contacts and procedures while retaining CRS branding. Reviewed against NICE, NHS, DHSC and CQC guidance in November 2026. Speaker notes include sources and explain England-specific safeguarding and candour guidance for adaptation elsewhere.

Scope and software
Age not applicable. PowerPoint or compatible software is required. Digital teaching resources only; no delivered training or physical equipment.

Awareness learning and completion certificates do not confer accreditation, prove practical competence or authorise clinical procedures. Qualified professionals assess and categorise skin damage. Follow individual care plans, consent, current professional advice, applicable national law and local policies. Practical tasks require role-specific training, competence assessment and employer authorisation.
