Postural Care with Specialist Alternative Seating Solutions

Specialised seating is a detailed area of practice that can feel overwhelming at every stage, from assessment to intervention. By applying postural care principles to support the assessment, selection, and prescription of specialised seating solutions, the path to successful outcomes becomes clearer.

This session will begin by addressing the foundational concepts of postural and pressure care, exploring how these elements are interconnected. The focus will then shift to strategies that help clinicians deliver interventions that effectively address both aspects, ultimately leading to solutions that maximise patient comfort, safety, and function.

Clinicians play a vital role in facilitating safe and supported seated postures for patients with postural care needs. Confidence, knowledge, and skills in this role are essential for achieving best-practice outcomes while empowering patients and enhancing their quality of life.

Unlock the potential of effective intervention planning for specialised seating in this focused workshop.
