Pressure Care
Pressure care is a key part of protecting skin integrity, reducing the risk of tissue damage, and supporting comfort, mobility, and dignity across a wide range of care settings.
At Algeos Academy, our pressure care content supports clinicians and healthcare teams in understanding risk, prevention and practical offloading strategies. From pressure redistribution and positioning through to product selection, material performance and patient handling, our training connects clinical reasoning with real-world application.
Pressure care is relevant across a wide range of clinical roles, including:
Podiatrists and chiropodists
Tissue viability nurses
Care home teams
Nurses and healthcare assistants
Orthotists and prosthetists
Physiotherapists
Occupational therapists
Rehabilitation specialists
Clinicians involved in diabetic foot care, wound care, and lower-limb management
Students and educators in healthcare
Whether you are supporting patients at risk of pressure damage, reviewing offloading options or looking to strengthen your understanding of prevention strategies, our education is designed to support more confident, informed and patient-centred care.
