The alternating pressure pad comprises separate sets of alternately inflatable cells and additionally includes further static inflatable cells 4 provided under the pad to raise the chest of a patient supported thereon. The cells 3 of the pad for supporting the head can be deflated to allow the nurse or carer access to the face and neck for nasal, ventilation and tracheotomy tubes to be inserted and hang freely. A head support 11 is also provided to support the head of the patient when cells 3 are deflated.
