National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP)

The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) is a professional organization dedicated to preventing and managing pressure injuries—also known as bedsores. They develop guidelines, provide education, and promote best practices for healthcare providers and caregivers to help protect individuals from tissue damage caused by prolonged pressure, especially in those with limited mobility. By raising awareness and sharing research, NPUAP aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce the occurrence of these injuries across healthcare settings.
