A World Without Skin Tears Day 2025

At Altura Learning, we are committed to advancing education and best practices in aged care. That’s why we proudly support A World Without Skin Tears Day 2025, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about skin tears, their prevention, and improved management strategies for vulnerable individuals.

Why Skin Tear Awareness Matters

Skin tears are one of the most common yet preventable wounds in aged care settings. They occur due to fragile skin, reduced elasticity, and increased susceptibility to trauma, particularly among older adults. Without proper care and prevention strategies, skin tears can lead to pain, infections, and reduced quality of life for those affected.

The Impact on Aged Care

As aged care professionals, understanding how to prevent and manage skin tears is crucial in delivering high-quality care. According to research, up to 25% of residents in aged care facilities experience skin tears, making it essential for carers to be equipped with the right knowledge and tools to minimise risks.

Altura Learning’s Commitment to Education

We believe that education is key in reducing the prevalence of skin tears in aged care settings. That’s why Altura Learning offers comprehensive training programs designed to empower care teams with the knowledge and skills needed to identify, prevent, and manage skin tears effectively.

By raising awareness and improving practices, we can help create a world where skin tears are minimised and vulnerable individuals receive the best possible care.
