We are pleased to have seen a 73% reduction in the number of reported pressure ulcers in the last 12 months. This is through a rollout of hybrid mattresses that provide better pressure relief, the introduction of padded oxygen tubing and more robust training on pressure ulcers.

We are celebrating #NationalDayofStaffNetworks and the incredible value they add to our workplace. 💙 Ensuring staff feel included, well supported and equal is a priority for us - as we know our staff can only provide the best care to patients if we look after them too.

1 in 3 people in the UK living with dementia do not have a diagnosis, which is why we've joined forces with partners across the region to raise awareness of the signs of dementia to look out for in loved ones, and where to access support should you need it.💙 #DementiaActionWeek
