BCG Pressure Ulcer Guide for iOS

This guide is an ongoing step by step, educational tool that could be used at every episode of care which could be used nationally, so that all carers would be educated in the same way. Every carer either community or residential based would be using a methodical, evidence based tool that everyone recognised.

The tool is based around the 5 principals that make up the SSKIN model

SURFACE SKIN INSPECTION KEEP MOVING - INCONTINENCE- NUTRITION AND HYDRATION

Using a traffic light system the guide comprises of pictures of each category of pressure ulcer including a description on one side, leading to guidance on the other side.
