Elevating Patient Repositioning: A Collaborative Approach for Best Practice

WEBINAR: Thursday 18th September 2025 at 11:00 am

Repositioning plays a vital role in preventing pressure ulcers, maintaining skin integrity, and supporting overall patient wellbeing. As healthcare continues to evolve, care teams face growing demands, yet these challenges also present new opportunities to improve how repositioning is delivered. With the right strategies, collaboration, and tools in place, it’s possible to achieve safe, effective, and consistent repositioning, even in today’s fast-paced clinical environments.

So, what does best practice really look like in real-world care settings, and how can we make it achievable for clinical teams?

Join us for this engaging and evidence-based webinar, where leading experts from Tissue Viability and Occupational Therapy come together to explore the gold standard of patient repositioning and share practical insights on overcoming everyday barriers. 

In this session, you will learn:

This webinar will provide a multi-disciplinary perspective on repositioning challenges and solutions across acute and community care. Topics include:

• The current challenges faced by clinicians and carers in delivering consistent repositioning

• Shared clinical and functional goals from both the Tissue Viability Nurse (TVN) and the Occupational Therapist (OT) viewpoints

• The impact of inconsistent repositioning on patient outcomes, comfort, and carer burden

• How automated lateral turning technology can enhance care delivery, reduce risk, and improve outcomes

• What gold-standard repositioning looks like in practice, and how services can work toward it

Featured Sessions and Speakers 

Prof. Linda Rafter
Independent Tissue Viability Nurse; Honorary Professor in Nursing, De Montfort University

Linda brings decades of experience in pressure area care, highlighting how repositioning protocols can break down in both hospital and community settings—and how a best-practice approach can prevent harm and support care teams under pressure.

Lucie Johnson
