Our latest clinical blog explores:�• Why pressure injury risk increases during the winter months�• What this means for Occupational Therapists, Tissue Viability Nurses, Wheelchair Services and Community OT Teams�• How silicone gel pressure redistribution can support winter prevention pathways�• Practical considerations for seating, positioning, microclimate management and rapid deployment during high-demand periods
