Clinical Applications of Profiling Beds: Therapeutic Use

Unicare Health Seminar : Defining Pressure Care Excellence

WEBINAR
This session focuses on the clinical reasoning behind prescribing electric profiling beds. Participants will explore how client needs, functional goals, and safety considerations inform equipment selection. Through practical examples and a structured decision-making framework, therapists will learn how to match bed capabilities to individual client presentations and articulate clear justifications that support comfort, participation, and risk management.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Identify when an electric profiling bed is clinically indicated based on assessment findings.
Match client functional needs - such as mobility, comfort, positioning, or safety to appropriate bed capabilities.
Justify the clinical need for a profiling bed in relation to comfort, participation, or risk reduction.

This webinar is recommended for practicing Occupational Therapists, Senior Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Senior Physiotherapists looking to feel more confident with prescribing electric profiling beds to optimise pressure care, comfort, and quality of life.
