Prevention and Management of Pressure Ulcers: Standards October 2020

The Care Inspectorate is supporting the publication of the updated standards for prevention and management of pressure ulcers, with Healthcare Improvement Scotland. 

These standards will replace the current clinical standards on prevention and management of pressure ulcers published by Healthcare Improvement Scotland in 2016 and incorporate advice contained in the (now withdrawn) 2009 Quality Improvement Scotland best practice statement.

The standards apply to:

• any person at risk of developing, or identified with, pressure ulcers regardless of age (including babies and children)
• services and organisations responsible for pressure ulcer care across health and social care.
