Empowering workers with the knowledge to safely move people, clients, residents or patients. What is moving and handling? In health and social care settings, regular tasks often involve the manual movement, lifting, or handling of people in your care. Our moving and handling training courses aim to instruct participants on the legislation, necessary skills and potential risks associated with the safe movement of people. This includes people’s mobility and the varying types of equipment and techniques you will come across. Why is moving and handling training important? There are an estimated 400 million hours of care delivered annually in the UK and these hours are gradually growing due to having and increasingly aging population, playing a crucial role in providing personal care and enabling individuals of all ages and backgrounds to maintain as much independence as possible. Carers frequently engage in lifting activities, which require correct training and experience to minimise the risk of short and long-term injuries to both the carer and the individual they support, as well as the potential for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The operation of lifting individuals presents significant risks for both the supporter and the person being lifted in various social settings, including hospitals, care homes, leisure, and education. Poor lifting techniques and the use of incorrect equipment can exaggerate existing conditions for both parties, sometimes instantly. We offer an affordable alternative to training, with access to the latest techniques and equipment to assist you in your everyday working with individuals, aiming in providing best practice solutions to any hinderances you may come across.
