Today, Dignity Access was specially invited to attend a conference organised and hosted by CFG Law at Warwick University tackling the subject of “Life After Amputation: The Patient Journey”. The day examined the need for a collaborative approach and brought together more than 100 case managers, occupational therapists and NHS staff to listen to a varied programme of speakers on the subject.

Elliot Sayers, National Sales Manager for Dignity Access was kept busy at the conference. “I felt that there was a great deal of interest and excitement in the room to look at new and better ways of helping those who have had to experience limb loss and amputation. There were certainly plenty of questions for me asking how a WashPod temporary disabled wetroom can add value to the patient journey”.

For amputees, regular and safe cleansing of the residual limb (stump) is essential to prevent infection, inflammation, and skin breakdown. It’s recommended to wash, clean, and thoroughly dry the area daily as part of a consistent hygiene routine. To this end, being able to access a shower is essential.
