Real Partnership. Real IMPACT.

OSKA is so proud to have supported Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust through their upgrade of pressure ulcer prevention mattresses across the Trust. Truly a transformation grounded in collaboration, flexibility, and a shared purpose.

“We’ve been in touch with OSKA every step of the way, and the plan has been robust. What’s really stood out is their understanding that this is a functioning hospital; things aren’t static, and they’ve been as flexible as our clinical staff.”

“I don’t work to a hard sell. Everything is about the people we care for and the teams we work with. When you meet a company that truly embraces that, you know you're building a strong partnership.”

This rollout goes beyond equipment. It reflects a values-driven approach to care, supporting both patients and staff with solutions designed to adapt and evolve in real-world clinical settings.

Hear how this new Partnership is making a difference on the ground.

A shared commitment to patient-led care.

Team OSKA remains incredibly proud to support Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust in their Trust-wide upgrade of pressure ulcer prevention mattresses. A project that was driven by a shared mission to improve patient safety and outcomes.

“We are a patient-led team. We’re very driven to improve patient safety, patient outcomes. Working in partnership with [OSKA] has meant we’ve been able to work with a company who also share the same values as us.”

This isn’t just about equipment. It’s about meaningful partnership, aligned values, and a shared clear focus on delivering the best possible care across the Trust.

Putting patients first: a Trust-wide upgrade in Pressure Area Care

At Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust, patient outcomes are at the heart of every decision, and their investment in new pressure ulcer prevention mattresses from OSKA, the pressure care experts, is no exception.

“For us, patients are always first. It never felt like it was about the money or a figure on top of a patient’s head. It was about the best outcome for the patients, and that also meant better outcomes for staff.”

Following a detailed review process, the Trust upgraded its entire pressure care strategy with a solution designed to deliver superior comfort, safety, and support, for both patients and frontline care teams.

Enhancing patient comfort and care across Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust.

After extensive trials and a thorough evaluation process, Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust upgraded its entire fleet of pressure ulcer prevention mattresses, choosing OSKA, the pressure care experts, for their exceptional patient comfort and innovative design of the OSKA Series4H mattress.

“We had a lot of mattresses reaching the end of their lifespan. After going through many trials, we picked OSKA, primarily for the patient comfort aspect. They've been absolutely fantastic; very focused on the customer, our Trust, and most importantly, the patient. There have even been some design changes made to meet our specific needs.”

This upgrade marked a major milestone in delivering safer, more comfortable care across the Trust, ensuring patients receive the best possible support at every stage of their care pathway.

For people living with dementia, sometimes alternating air mattresses, commonly used for pressure ulcer prevention, management and treatment, might be triggering.

The noise, motion, and vibration may resemble past experiences, leading to:
- Flashbacks or agitation
- Disrupted sleep
- Refusal of care

This not only impacts mental health but increases pressure ulcer risk.

At OSKA, we support more gentle alternatives. Our Series5 specialist lateral tilt mattress delivers gentle but effective pressure relief technology, without the mechanical triggers of traditional air systems, noisy pumps, alarms and flashing lights.

Did You Know?

In the UK, nearly 944,000 people are living with dementia, and those in advanced stages face significantly higher risks of pressure ulcers.

Up to 80% of people with advanced dementia experience reduced mobility, impaired communication, and cognitive decline, all of which contribute to:

- Higher incidence of pressure-related skin damage
- Difficulty in repositioning or expressing discomfort / pain

The OSKA Series5 mattress delivers innovative but gentle pressure redistribution without the instability of alternating air, reducing the risk of pressure ulcer development, especially in those with agitation or reduced awareness.

During Dementia Action Week, it’s vital to recognise a hidden but critical risk: pressure ulcers.

- Almost 40% of advanced dementia patients develop pressure ulcers before dying (Mitchell et al, 2009).

- 73% of people living with dementia who develop pressure ulcers are more likely to die within 6 months (Alonzo, 2006).

- Dementia patients are less able to tolerate interventions such as repositioning and are more likely to succumb to complications associated with pressure ulceration (Jaul & Meiron, 2016).

Pressure ulcer prevention isn’t just a physical care task - it’s about person-centred care, understanding the whole person, adapting care approaches, and working compassionately across settings to reduce harm.

Let’s use this week to raise awareness, strengthen prevention, and deliver truly person-centred care for those living with dementia.

This week the spotlight is on . Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist Valerie Dowley explores of the aspects of dementia which can put People Living with Dementia (PLWD) at a higher risk of developing pressure ulcers.

“This clinical blog is designed to give you a greater understanding of these risks so you can be more proactive and knowledgeable, while undertaking a risk assessment, in preventing pressure ulcers from happening. It is important to break down a few myths around what dementia really is and what it is not” says Valerie.
