Saving the NHS money by preventing pressure ulcers
For decades now pressure sores have been recognised as a serious yet preventable world-wide problem. Here we are in 2017 and we still are not doing enough to prevent these even though we know who is at risk and we know what factors elevate the risk. In Scotland, the Diabetic Foot Action Group has been working hard to both raise the quality of care and consistency across Scotland. As we described in our last article on CPR for the Diabetic Foot, a Scottish system audit identified potential savings of £15 million per year if even 75% of diabetic foot ulcers could be prevented.
