We know that as a Care Provider or Carer there are often challenges when finding, purchasing, operating and maintaining a suitable pressure relieving support surface.
Challenges for the Care Provider
For a Care Provider this often involves balancing the budget to manage upfront costs as well as ongoing life-cycle costs. Meeting ad-hoc demands to deliver uninterrupted patient care is also a priority, as well as ensuring patients are on the right surface to suit their individual needs.
Challenges for the Carer
For the Carer, dealing with avoidable interruptions caused by inadequate equipment means time is taken away from face to face care time with the Cared For. Inadequate or incorrect support surfaces to meet individual care can also lead to increased nursing time spent on highly demanding repositioning regimes. Added to this, Carers do not always have the necessary training on how to operate the support surface to deliver the very best levels of care.
Impact for the Cared For
For the Cared For these challenges, that the Care Provider and Carer face, can negatively affect the level of care they receive. In reality this can mean an anxious time for the Cared For and, in the worst cases, result in debilitating pain and suffering caused by pressure ulcers.
