Implementing a Postural Care Pathway: A Scottish Perspective
Host: Sudhakar Sharma

Info: This session explores the development and implementation of a postural care pathway and reflects on the key lessons learned throughout the process. Postural care is recognised as an important preventative intervention that supports comfort, function, communication and participation while reducing the risk of secondary complications such as pain, contractures and pressure injuries. Despite increasing awareness, the implementation of structured postural care pathways can be challenging within complex health and social care systems.
Drawing on service development experience within NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, this session will examine the practical steps required to embed postural care into everyday clinical practice. It will explore the role of multidisciplinary teams, the importance of training and shared understanding, and the need for ongoing review and reassessment.
