- Do you have a pressure relieving cushion or mattress in place and are they working correctly?
- Are you able to change your position more frequently, to relieve the pressure on the areas that feel sore
- Is there anyone who can check your skin for you daily, to monitor for any changes in your skin e.g. redness, broken areas
- See the NHS Lothian Preventing Pressure Ulcers leaflet which is on the Self Help Information section of this webpage. This shows how to check your skin, what to watch out for and what to do.
- If after reading the leaflet you have ongoing concerns, we would advise a call to your District Nurse team or G.P. for further advice.
