Pressure sores (also called pressure ulcers) develop when continuous pressure reduces blood flow to the skin and underlying tissue. For individuals using wheelchairs, prosthetics or spending long periods seated or bed-bound, even small areas of irritation can progress into wounds that are slow to heal and vulnerable to infection.

Know the signs: Parents encouraged to recognise RSV symptoms

Thu, Nov 06, 2025

As the peak RSV season (typically December and January) approaches, parents and caregivers should become familiar with the symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a common virus that causes coughs, colds, and may cause infection in the lower part of the respiratory system. These are known as lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs).
