Abstract

The article discusses the Reposition, Inspection, Skin Care, Eat Well (R.I.S.E.) leaflet for the prevention of pressure ulcers. Topics include the need to educate informal carers of home-based pressure ulcer patients, the European Wound Management Association's (EWMA) "Home Care Wound Care" document, and the steps that led to the evolution of the final leaflet based on readability and ease of translation into other languages. Websites where the leaflet is freely available are mentioned.
