About the CPD course
The Handling of People 7th edition is the latest edition in the HOP series; which was first published some 40 years ago. A series that has always been classed as the gold standard in the safe moving and handling of people and used within most emergency and everyday healthcare settings. Covid-19; the greatest modern-day epidemic the world has seen; means that the safe handling of people is now more important than ever to protect both the carer and cared for; alike.
BackCare was the brainchild of a local businessman, Stanley Grundy, who established the charity after suffering a back injury caused by a sailing accident. At the time, he was concerned about the lack of information and support for back pain sufferers. For over 50 years BackCare has been dedicated to educating the public throughout the UK and wider further afield in ways of preventing and alleviating back pain. The charity aims to significantly reduce the burden of back & neck pain by providing information, guidance and advice to all people and organisations and those affected by such pain.
