Patient Moving and Handling

Learn HQ together with AT&F Solutions offer a comprehensive and fully interactive training course, offering safe patient handling for those working in the NHS, nursing homes and other healthcare sectors. Here is an opportunity to ensure that your team work together to ensure they follow the principles of good handling and avoid unsafe techniques, which can result in your own staff suffering injuries. You will cover:

• The importance of proper moving and handling of patients – general principles, unsafe techniques, common injuries and regulations.
• Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (both the employee’s responsibilities and the employer’s duties).
• Manual Handling – a general understanding, relative to patient moving and handling.
• How to lift and moving techniques - using handling equipment such as hoists and helping a patient walk.
• Dealing with falls – dealing with and controlling a fall, precautions, lowering the patient in a controlled manner, post-fall action plans, getting up off the floor and hoisting patients.
• Correct Handling techniques (and those now banned by the National Back Pain Association and The Royal College of Nursing).
• Getting a patient into beds and chairs, rolling a patient in the bed, moving a seated patient up and down the bed, helping a patient sit up in bed and lateral transfers with a patslide.
• What can go wrong if you don’t get it right.

Patient moving and handling is a comprehensive training module that can be applied as a blended approach to manual handling and people moving within the healthcare sector. There’s something here for everyone – Patient Moving and Handling is an ideal refresher or equally suitable for new starters.

The course combines both multiple choice questions and ‘real life’ role-playing scenarios (“missions”) to encourage each student to think about patient moving and handling in the context of their own environment.
