Community nurses, with their wide-ranging expertise and position at the frontline of patient care, are well-equipped to make an impact on pressure injury prevalence. Francesca Ramadan explores evidence-based strategies for the assessment, prevention and treatment of pressure injuries, equipping the community practitioner with the necessary knowledge and guidance.
