Naidex '09, the UK's leading disability, homecare and rehabilitation show (28th-30th April, NEC, Birmingham) is delighted to announce that it will be hosting a full programme of pressure care seminars presented by well known seating specialist Fiona Collins.

The seminars will take place in the Professional Seminar Theatre (stand G20) on all three days of the event and will allow healthcare professionals and members of the public to increase their knowledge and understanding of the principles of seating theory, as well as explore practical specialist seating solutions within a care environment.

1.2 million people in the UK suffer from painful pressure sores that arise from prolonged periods of sitting. Most pressure care specialists will agree that prevention is better than cure and competent nursing care should result in pressure damage being avoided. The seminars will present case studies to examine therapists' accountability as well as cover topics including: Dynamic Seating for Personal Hygiene, Seating Assessment, Seating the Bariatric Patient and Gaining Funding for Seating. Healthcare professionals will also receive a certificate of attendance for inclusion in their CPD portfolio.

Event Manager, Liz Virgo commented, "It is our aim to make Naidex as enjoyable and informative as possible, and a worthwhile day out for both healthcare professionals and members of the public. The pressure care seminars provide the perfect opportunity for anyone interested in this important issue to get the latest tips and advice from the specialists."

As well as learning about pressure care management, visitors will also be able to test and compare the latest specialist seating products from reputable companies exhibiting at the show including Kirton Healthcare, Minivator and Nottingham Rehab Supplies.

Naidex '09 promises to be a rich and rewarding experience with over 350 exhibitors, thousands of products and new show features. Last year over 10,000 visitors attended the show and this year promises to be the most exciting Naidex event yet.
