Safe moving and handling is an essential skill for anyone supporting people in health and social care. Incorrect moving and handling techniques can lead to musculoskeletal injuries for staff, place individuals at risk of harm, and contribute to avoidable workplace incidents.
This CPD-accredited Moving and Handling Course is designed for care workers, healthcare assistants, support workers, senior carers, nurses and other professionals working in residential care, domiciliary care and supported living services. Learners will develop a practical understanding of safe moving and handling principles, risk assessment, safer lifting techniques, the correct use of moving and handling equipment, and how to minimise risks for both themselves and the people they support.
