Assistive bath provider Abacus Specialist Bathroom Solutions will present a posture and bathing seminar by Kate Sheehan, Occupational Therapist (OT), as part of its CPD programme for healthcare professionals at Kidz to Adultz Wales and West.

The seminar, titled ‘Managing bathing posture to support engagement and safety’, will take place in Seminar Room 2 at 1pm.

Kate will explore the theme that bathing can be important to people for a variety of different reasons, whether it be to benefit relaxation, sleep, play, or relationships.  However, following a client-centred and holistic bathing assessment that identifies bathing as meaningful, the practicalities of making that a reality, particularly for someone with postural needs, can seem daunting and challenging.

This session looks to consider the theory behind bathing posture, linking to functional engagement, safety and long-term health and well-being.

Practical product demonstrations will be used to reinforce the seminar and reflect on opportunities to meet clinical and functional challenges.

The Abacus team will be available on stand G2 to discuss individual client challenges. The stand will also include live demonstrations of the future-proofed Gemini 2000 bath, which won the ‘Excellence in Caring’ Award at the OT Show, alongside the Aries 2000 and Scorpio.

Kidz to Adultz Wales and West will take place on Thursday 7 July 2022, 9.30am-4.30pm, International Convention Centre Wales.
