About This Event

The Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds will host Beyond the Surface on 8 October 2026, presenting an engaging workshop focused on the challenges of pressure ulcer litigation. Various experts will discuss science, safety and legalities while providing opportunities for attendees to ask questions. This free event is open to the public and aims to explore key issues surrounding PU prevention.

Join us at the Thackray Museum for an engaging free to attend event & workshop exploring the challenges of pressure ulcer litigation.

Hear from the experts and get your questions answered during the morning presentations where the following topics will be covered:

The Science of Surfaces | Understanding therapeutic support surfaces and key considerations when choosing a surface.

Coroner’s Court Preparation | Preparing clinicians attending coroner’s courts to provide evidence.

Coroner’s Court Experience | What is a coroner’s court experience like for a clinician?

After lunch, there will be a live mock-up of a coroner’s court, to experience first-hand what it would be like to attend and give evidence. This is a great opportunity for clinicians to experience the atmosphere of a coroner’s court in a less stressful environment.

We are very excited to introduce our brilliant speakers:

Rachel Apsey, Group Chief Executive and Registered Nurse, Medstrom

Sarah Jones, Paediatric Tissue Viability Nurse, Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust

Alison Parnham, BSc (Hons), MSc Health and Social Care - Clinical Nurse Specialist in Tissue Viability.

Please note:

The event allows attendees to gain 5 hours CPD-certified towards revalidation.

Delegate spaces are limited to 2-3 individuals per Trust.

That the views and perspectives of the speakers are their own and not necessarily shared by Medstrom. We aim to provide a platform to share these views in a respectful manner.

Attendance is restricted for clinical personnel only and we hold the right to decline applications to attend from industry personnel.
