Sumed Hosts Road Shows Nov 2011
Sumed has continued its annual tradition of hosting a series of road shows across the country on pressure area care. Events took place in Cardiff, Lichfield, Shrewsbury, Portsmouth and Berkshire between 21st-25th November.
The events are aimed at Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Rehabilitation Engineers working within Wheelchair Services along with a range of Nursing staff involved in pressure relief management. The events featured presentations from Bart van der Heyden, a Physical Therapist, seating/wheelchair consultant and the Director Training & Education Europe for The ROHO Group. Bart has studied Physical Therapy in Ghent, Belgium and has gained clinical experience in Belgium, Germany and the U.S.A.; where he is a Licensed Physical Therapist. Bart has over 16 years of experience in the Seating and Positioning field.
The interactive sessions featured practical demonstrations on seating and pressure relief with particular focus on postural management. A series of case studies on seating interventions in rehabilitation and improving functionality challenged participants to “think outside the box” during a highly informative and successful week.
The largest road show in Berkshire attracted 130 clinicians from several areas in the Southern region with Occupational Therapists, Tissue Viability Nurses, District Nurses and Physiotherapists being just some of the key Healthcare professionals present at the event.
A huge thanks to Ken Isaac and Bart van der Heyden from Roho for all their hard work and making the week such a success!

News from Medical Technology Group
The medical Technology Group (MTG) is a coalition of patient groups, research charities and medical device manufacturers (www.mtg.org.uk) which works to make technologies available to whoever needs them. The MTG believes that ‘patients and clinicians need better information about medical technologies so they can make informed choices about their medical care.’
The Bulletin below highlights the opinions of Ian Liddell-Grainger that ‘we all want to be able to rely on the NHS for safe, high quality services and support that speed recovery, reduce stress and, where possible, enable patients to resume normal, active lives.’ He goes on to highlight the dangers of ‘low value’ procedures published by the Audit Commission in April of this year. The Bulletin highlights how the stimulation technology with Veinoplus® can maintain mobility and improve patient’s quality of life.
