2018 World Wide Pressure Injury Prevention Day


The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) announced that World Wide Pressure Injury Prevention Day is to be celebrated on Thursday, November 15, 2018. The objective of World Wide Pressure Injury Prevention Day is to increase national awareness for pressure injury prevention and to educate the public on this topic.

NPUAP has developed a comprehensive media materials package suitable for all healthcare settings and organisations which are available here.

For 2018 Stop Pressure Injury Day, the NPUAP, EPUAP and the Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA) are promoting the International Pressure Injury Guideline. The guideline is available from the New Zealand Wound Care Society website. The New Zealand Wound Care Society has developed a website of useful resources and links, some in a number of languages.
