Clinical Moving and Handling

Clinical Moving and Handling is a training course designed to comply with the Manual Handling Regulations 1992 for people in a care setting. The course is split into two parts, the first part is the theory while the second is totally practical and involves the use of hoists, slings, slide sheets and moving people correctly. This is a hands-on course and we recommend that unrestrictive, practical clothing is worn.

Who needs clinical moving and handling?

Health and social care staff carry out a wide variety of moving and handling activities as part of their role, so it's important that they learn how to do this safely. This includes learning to use hoists and other aids, and being aware of the legislation surrounding moving and handling. This clinical moving and handling training course is popular with the local authority, adult health and social care, care homes and workers in the voluntary and community sectors. Ongoing assessment for this course is carried out by the trainer throughout the training and each candidate will receive a certificate of completion.
