Skills Zone 2026: Total Barrier Protection™: S.M.A.R.T. Care for MASD & MARSI
This session outlines a Total Barrier Protection Strategy for preventing and managing moisture-associated skin damage (MASD). It demonstrates how the S.M.A.R.T. tool supports national guidance, standardises care, and improves clinical decision-making. Using an evidence-based approach with barrier products and the S.M.A.R.T. framework helps reduce complications such as incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) and medical adhesive-related injuries (MARSI) while improving patient outcomes.
Attendees will also have the chance to play a board game to test and reinforce learning, and to assess skin damage in a practical way.
