Introduction to the Management
of a Plus Size Person Study Day
Based upon a mixture of evidence based practice, case study presentations and practical hands on sessions, the study day will enable the delegate to identify solutions for the management of a plus size person within health and social care.
Why choose the 1 day Introduction to the Management of a Plus Size Person?
• Supports delegates to understand terminology, local demographics and body shapes regarding plus size people
• Identifies suitable plus size solutions to meet the needs of the individual
• Evidence based using national and international best practice from leading experts and organisations
• Practice with the use of people handling equipment to meet current legislative requirements
• Utilises robust training records and documentation processes
• Use of standardised assessment ‘tools’ such as the Mobility GalleryTM and the Handbook of Transfers to assist with pragmatic handling assessments as well as solution identification
The Updated Handbook of Transfers
Why use the Handbook of Transfers?
This new Handbook of Transfers is aimed
at the professional caregiver who would like
to know more about how they can guide and assist people with a variety of daily movements.
The techniques illustrated within the new Handbook have been tested against the most up to date research and evidence on physical loads and biomechanics. It also pays particular attention to the link between quality of care, quality of work and the prevention of pressure damage to the person requiring assistance.
The content of the practical part of the new handbook reflects the continued evolution of what is considered safe practice based on new research evidence and feedback from the field. Some new tools and techniques have been included, where they meet the national and international standards, concerning physical loads.
Arjo will be offering a new Handbook of Transfers Training course, where delegates will have the unique opportunity to understand the theoretical principles underpinning the development of the Handbook and practical application of the techniques, whilst also obtaining their own personal copy of this invaluable publication.
