Target Audience\/Eligibility Criteria<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This e-learning module is suitable for all staff whose role involves patient handling activities. For those staff not handling patients they can complete the non-clinical module.<\/p>\n

Course Aim<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moving patients is one of the most important skills needed in an NHS or Care environment. This module aims to cover the standard moving and handling training, but also includes a full section on moving and handling patients to ensure that staff are fully skilled in techniques for moving people. All staff involved in moving patients should be fully trained to reduce the risk of causing injuries when moving people.<\/p>\n

Back injury is the main reason for absence from the workplace and one third of all reported injuries that result in three days off work are caused by manual handling accidents. In the NHS the situation has been particularly serious, with this type of accident accounting for 40% of all sickness absence, at an estimated cost in the region of \u00a3400 million each year.<\/p>\n

Employers are required by law to take reasonable steps to safeguard the health and safety of all employees, one of which is increasing awareness about the hazards, and what can be done to minimise risk.<\/p>\n
