Today is National Hugging Day, here's your reminder to never underestimate the healing power of a hug...

- a hug reduces the stress hormone, cortisol.
- a hug increases feelings of relaxation and calmness.
- a hug builds emotional bonds with others through the release of oxytocin.

Touch is at the forefront of human connection and this should be no different when someone is receiving palliative and end of life care. Thought to be one of the last senses to fade when death is near, a hug is more than just an embrace - it’s a universal language of love, comfort, and connection.

To celebrate the launch of OSKA's new cuddle bed, our blog 'Love's Final Embrace' explores how the OSKA Embrace bed is transforming end-of-life care: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0q-B2X0

For patients and loved ones, this bed creates a space for peace, love, and meaningful goodbyes. Because comfort isn't just physical - it's emotional too. Because every moment matters.

Starting the year strong: prioritising pressure ulcer prevention in 2026!

As we step into January, many Care Homes Groups are reviewing clinical priorities for the year ahead. One area that must remain firmly in focus is pressure ulcer prevention.

Pressure ulcers are not only painful and distressing for residents, they also place significant strain on clinical teams, budgets, and quality outcomes. Yet with consistent prevention strategies, many are avoidable.

Now is the ideal time for:
- Refreshing staff training on early identification
- Reviewing repositioning schedules and skin integrity checks
- Ensuring pressure-relieving mattresses are in optimal condition
- Strengthening documentation and QI monitoring processes

Proactive prevention protects residents, reduces harm, and improves CQC assurance.
