Skills for Care is working with the University of Leeds on a study they are undertaking into Pressure Ulcer Prevention at Home. They are trying to find out what resources Personal Assistants (PAs) need to help them prevent pressure ulcers at home.
The project is looking for personal assistants (PAs) who supports people with long term neurological conditions in the community (for example, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Spina Bifida, Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Cerebral Palsy (CP) or Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)), who would you be willing to take part in a face-to-face focus group meeting in Leeds on the 4th of July.
During the focus group, you will be invited to share your experience and opinions about pressure ulcer risk management. Participants will also be invited to an additional workshop, later in the project. Participation in both groups is entirely voluntary. Standard rate travel expenses will be reimbursed.
