People Movers Moving & Handling
People Movers Moving & Handling training is a must for all carers who regularly help people with restricted movement, or require the use of specialist equipment in order to go about their day to day lives.
Moving & Handling training benefits not only the service users, but all healthcare staff and anyone else delivering care to them too. Caring for service users with limited capabilities is a strenuous profession, and staff could potentially injure themselves if proper protocols for using the equipment are not followed correctly. Refresher training will then be necessary every 12 months.
