Patients sat out in a chair are at an
increased risk of pressure injury

assessment of the patient should be
undertaken, before deciding on whether a
sling should be left under a patient for any
period of time.

transfers then an appropriate care
plan must be established and should
include regular skin inspection, paying
particular attention to pressure points and
frequent repositioning intervals which
should be documented and based on the
