Delegates must already have taken the full course and currently be delivering training on a regular basis. Evidence of previous training must be produced at booking.
Duration / Format One Day (7 hours) – min. 4, max. 10 candidates.
Course Objectives:
This one-day annual update course is designed to reinforce good practice and ensure trainers have current information to pass on to their learners. Any new legislation or guidance will be brought to the attention of candidates and new equipment, or techniques will be evaluated, taught, and practised until course attendees are confident and competent.
There is an opportunity for the group of trainers to discuss issues they have encountered during training or any particular handling issues they are experiencing.
Course Content
The day starts with a knowledge test.
Then a forum for debate and discussion with arising problems and issues from the trainers.
The tutor then shares new information with the group.
Each year the tutor introduces a different topic to increase the trainers’ knowledge base. In previous years, the topics have included seating and postural support, managing the plus sized client, an ever increasing problem and new slide sheet techniques.
The afternoon is spent demonstrating and practising the practical aspects of people moving and handling, using aids and equipment to enhance skills and knowledge. Case studies from the group are used to test and select the most appropriate methods for a specific handling event. Challenges are tackled and problem-solved using the groups’ expertise.
