Preventing Pressure Injuries – Why Shear Deserves More Attention
When: 24 September 2025, 15:10-16:10
Where: Restaurant Hall 3
Speakers:
Fares Al‑Khaliliy, Clinical Manager
Pressure injuries remain one of the most common and costly preventable care-related injuries. For patients, they can result in pain, complications and longer recovery. For healthcare professionals, they represent increased workload, ethical stress, and time taken from other essential care tasks. In this workshop, we take a closer look at one of the less visible but highly influential factors behind pressure injuries: shear. Together, we explore how a better understanding – and management – of shear can reduce injury risk, support clinical routines, and make preventive work more effective and sustainable. Join us for a shift in perspective: from reacting to injuries, to building everyday care that actively prevents them.

IMPORTANT
Industry session speakers fixed fee
All speakers must be registered for the conference. Registration, accommodation, and travelling costs must be covered by the company for any invited speaker or chair person.
If the speaker is also an invited speaker at the EPUAP scientific programme or EPUAP Executive Board Member/EPUAP Trustee, the company must pay a fixed fee to EPUAP. The fixed fee covers the speaker’s hotel room for 2 nights, the registration fee, and travel expenses.
The fee is €1,400 for speakers from outside Finland and €1,100 for speakers from Finland. If there are more companies inviting the same speaker, the costs will be split evenly between all of them. Companies will be invoiced the fixed fee just before or just after the conference.
EPUAP holds the right to invite speakers until the time of conference and can therefore not provide a full list of speakers during the planning of the event.
