Viewers can also watch the pre-emptive 15 November 2017 global SPUD webinar featuring Professor Amit Gefen – recipient of the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel's 2017 Experienced Investigator Award – who explored the science behind the question, 'Are all five-layer dressings equal in their effectiveness in preventing pressure ulcers?'
Professor Gefen was joined by Australia's Professor Nick Santamaria – co-author of multiple published studies on pressure ulcer prevention – who examined what the evidence says about the effectiveness of dressings in pressure ulcer prevention. This webinar is also free. Register here.
