Before we start this patient handling course, we will first look at what will be covered during the training. The course is divided into categories and in each category, there are a number of videos. You can pause and re-watch any video on the course. We update our courses regularly and you will be able to see the replacement and new videos as they are released.
This may be an online course, but if have any questions during the course you can contact us by phone, email or use our online chat on any of our websites.
You work through the course videos in order and we'll now give you a summary of what the course will cover:
The first section looks at different things you will need to know when transporting patients like protecting their dignity, keeping their personal possessions safe, communication, ergonomics and avoiding back injuries.
This section will also look at transporting medical devices, giving people time and travelling with service or assistance dogs.
The next section looks at medical conditions like hearing impairments, sight problems and walking difficulties.
We then look at fall prevention and what to do when someone falls.
The walking aids section tells you about the different walking aids passengers may have including wheelchairs.
We then look at getting someone to your vehicle, into your vehicle and safely out of your vehicle.
The final section looks at car accidents, breakdowns and what to do if someone becomes ill or has an accident.
