Moving and Handling Assessment

One of the most common causes of injury in health and social care settings relate to mobility problems. Typically; the injury could have been prevented if it had been got ahead of and that via proper assessment. This MH SCTV training programme unpacks what needs assessing; why and how to meaningfully manage the matters raised. Whilst any "assessment" topic involves paperwork; this training resource reminds the learner that whilst the paperwork has a pivotal role the real purpose of good; thorough handling assessment is to direct interventions in practice that prevent injury. We are not aware of any other course within health and social care which gets that across to the learner as straightforwardly; comprehensively and sensibly. This matters as it enables health and social care workers to genuinely protect and promote the best interests of those in their care.
