Medicareplus International held sessions for Nursing staff and for Health Care Assistance on Medi Derma-S Barrier cream and treatment for MASD.

Personally, I have only used the Medi Derma-S barrier cream to date and have found this to be an excellent product. My colleagues have used the Medi Derma- PRO Foam and Spray Incontinence Cleanser which have also been very effective. Registered Nurses including myself are now better equipped at identifying the differences between MASD and pressure damage and which Medi Derma-S products to ease at each stage. The support and training Kerry has given to Barnsley over the past 12 months have allowed better formulary compliance and improved care for patients in all settings. I really enjoy working with Kerry, we have organized several amazing events in an area highlighted for improvement. Always an excellent response and Kerry’s organisational and motivational skills are an inspiration.
