Don't bring germs in - don't take germs home.

Preventing pressure injuries

Pressure injuries (bed sores) are areas of damage to the skin or underlying tissue, caused by lying in one place for too long or your skin rubbing against another surface.

Preventing blood clots

If you are in hospital for a longer stay, your risk of getting a blood clot in your leg or your lung is much higher than usual.

Falls in hospital can occur due to the unfamiliar environment, when you are feeling unwell and when you are taking certain medications.
