Healthcare Professionals are often involved in the movement of patients within their daily work. Safe moving and handling of people continues to be a major challenge in all health and social care settings, and poses a risk of injury for the carer and for the person. When patient handling is performed correctly, patients can be moved with ease and with reduced risk of injury, to both the patient and the healthcare professional.
Very happy with People Handling. Being an Irish product is a bonus.
The range of techniques demonstrated is very appropriate…
excellent and very well executed.
