Do your staff know the difference between equipment designed for transferring patients and equipment designed for transporting patients? Understanding these distinctions is vital to ensure the safety of both patients and staff.
At Specialised Training UK Ltd, we offer specialised Moving and Positioning of People training [LINK], tailored for professionals in healthcare, care homes, and educational settings. This essential training goes beyond theory, giving your team the skills they need to handle vulnerable individuals with confidence and care.
Why is this training so important?
The safe moving and handling of people is a high-risk area in care environments. Improper techniques or lack of understanding can result in injury, discomfort, or even legal complications. Our course equips learners with the knowledge to assess risks, understand the purpose of each piece of equipment, and perform practical handling tasks safely.
What does the training include?
Our expert instructors provide a blend of classroom theory and practical demonstrations. Key topics covered include:
- Understanding legislation such as the Manual Handling Operations Regulations and the Health and Safety at Work Act.
- Learning safe handling techniques, including using lifting hoists, slings, and slide sheets.
- Conduct risk assessments to ensure all tasks are performed in the safest way possible.
- Promoting good posture and reducing strain during handling tasks.
Whether your team needs to learn how to safely roll a patient, move them from sit-to-stand, or use advanced equipment, this training is designed to meet the needs of busy care professionals.
Investing in moving and handling training is not just about compliance—it’s about improving the care and dignity of your patients while protecting the health and well-being of your staff.
