Patient Moving & Handling
The Patient Moving & Handling course is designed for people working in healthcare who require training in the safe movement and handling of patients under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work 2005 and Manual Handling Regulations 1993 and 2007.
When you help patients to move physically, it is essential to protect yourself by minimising any potential risks. This practical course teaches effective techniques for everyday situations, including assisting with sitting and standing, and how to correctly use hoists and slings.
Students will be evaluated on their patient moving and handling techniques. They must demonstrate competence in all movements and pass a written test.Course Syllabus
