Summary

The Moving and Handling of People Train the Trainer course provides delegates with an understanding of the best techniques and processes for safely lifting and moving patients, avoiding injury to the patient, other staff and themselves. They will also learn other essential manual handling skills, including risk assessment and using equipment, such as hoists, to move patients.
