Postural care aims to preserve or even restore body shape for individuals with movement difficulties and complex presentations, of which specialist seating is a key element. Specialist seating is a prescriptive medical device; it is complex, it is challenging, and it can be overwhelming, but it can also change the lives of individuals for the better. We will explore the world of seating and how it can aid optimum 24-hour postural care for individuals with complex disabilities. Fundamental guidance will be provided to navigate common postural challenges and their seating solutions for effective equipment provision within your clinical practice.

(Continuous professional development is critical to effective postural care in sitting; every attendee will receive a free copy of the Encyclopedia of Specialist Seating (worth £24.99) to complement the session.)
