Moving and positioning people

This half-day moving and positioning people training is designed for registered nurses, support workers, and healthcare assistants. We deliver training to our care and nursing team, external individuals and healthcare services across the UK.

The course aims to reduce the risk of injury for both team members and clients during moving and handling tasks. Participants will learn the key principles of safe moving and positioning, and how to conduct risk assessments before any activity.

Learners will participate in hands-on practice sessions. These sessions replicate real-life scenarios encountered in the community. Ensuring care professionals feel confident and prepared to perform moving and handling tasks safely, effectively and in a person-centred manner.
