Delivering Pressure Injury Prevention & Management in Ipswich

Equipment turnaround is slower in the western corridor, so a failing cushion at Ripley can take weeks to replace. Our nurses raise equipment problems early and loudly for that reason, because waiting on a delivery is exactly the period in which a stage one injury becomes a stage three.

Frequently Asked Questions | Pressure Injury Prevention & Management Ipswich

What happens if my cushion or mattress is causing the problem?
We say so immediately and push for an OT review, then manage the interim with repositioning and interim measures. Equipment replacement takes longer out here than in Brisbane, so raising it early is the only way the timing works out safely.
Can dressings for a pressure injury be done at home in Ipswich?
Yes, on whatever schedule the injury needs, including daily. For participants at Ripley or Springfield, home dressing removes the travel that otherwise causes appointments to be skipped, and skipped dressings are how pressure injuries deteriorate.
