Practical Moving & Handling Courses
We offer a moving and handling course over one day, preferably in the Carer’s work setting. It is not necessary to have any previous training to do this course. We offer lots of hands on practical skills where everyone gets a go at moving and handling people in all kinds of situations at home, when out, and in hospitals and care homes.
This course is suitable for all health and social care professionals, i.e. staff in care homes, agency nursing staff, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, health practitioners, paramedics, teachers and home carers.

Moving and handling training is essential, it goes on every day, from hoists, to bed, moving and handling from taxis to toilets, there are so many ways where the right methods of moving and handling prevents injuries to both carers and service users and familiarises and updates service providers with all the appropriate tools and equipment, the latest guidance and the legal ramifications of moving and handling in the right and wrong ways.
