Absolutely pressure areas count. Despite a lymph nurse, I promote pressure areas check. and promote with leaflet to everyone and especially my most vulnerable patients. Yesterdaythe daughter of one of my patents said I'm an 😇 when we discussed and I gave her info to take home for reference. Educating family members, carers and significant is the way to go because they have wveryday contact with the person. Reaching out to care agencies to cascade and providing simple leaflet in differnt languages are important. When I was a community nurse I worked closely with many care agencies and carers and I can say they areally do want to learn and do best for their patients. I did discuss zoom sessions for care agencies and they were on board. However, I left that post. I hope someone is driven to help and educate our carers and care agencies. They do want to do their best.
Going beyond your remit does make a difference. I love when we practice with our head, hands and hearts. Thank you so much for keep promoting this. Thank you all.
