Plus Sized Patient CPD

Plus Size Patient Care: The 5 Approach CPD Certified Manual Handling Workshop

Understanding and putting into practise techniques to effectively care for plus size individuals is essential to provide inclusive, dignified, and quality care – for both the patient and staff.

With the right equipment and the right approach, quality care can be provided in a safe and timely manner and the number of staff required to lift, reposition and transfer can often be reduced.

In our one-day theoretical and practical session with a bariatric empathy suit, we empower healthcare professionals to confidently put effective manual handling skills into practise to improve care for all.

Location

We host workshops nationwide. From NBE meetings to on-site at NHS Trusts.
