Pressure Injury Prevention
If you have a spinal cord injury or impairment it is difficult to get through life without the risk of sustaining a pressure injury. These short videos highlight the causes and effects, sometimes devastating, of pressure injuries. We want to help you avoid getting one.
The content is based on international literature, recent ACC research and the lived experience of the participants in the videos. This is one of 12 video's released as a resource on World Spinal Cord Injury Day 5th September 2018, and is a collaborative work of BAIL and the NZ Spinal Trust funded by ACC of New Zealand.

There are important lessons here for those watching New Zealand's own homegrown platforms which are taxpayer supported through NZ on Air. Whether freeview or payview, what are we actually seeing and why? what are we actually paying for and why? Are we simply paying millions to subsidise commercially fragile kiwi media platforms or are we paying to ensure a future for kiwi made factual content? These questions are particularly relevant as the government considers new funding models for both film and television.
