The UK’s growing population and average adult obesity rate of 26%, means that care teams can expect to provide care to an increasing number of plus size individuals.
Having the right equipment available is critical to improving their clinical outcome, experience within the care environment and length of stay.
The guide below has been designed to summarise the five core plus size patient mobility levels and the specific care equipment available to meet these needs. You can right click on the guide and save or print it to share with colleagues.
In some cases, a patient or service user may sit between levels and require a more tailored equipment solution.
