Safe Moving & Handling with Specialist Seating
This concise CPD session explores how specialist seating can support safer moving and handling, reducing risk for both the individual and caregiver. Delivered by Chris Hackett, Group Product Specialist, it highlights the role of riser recliners and postural chairs in promoting independence, improving positioning, and minimising manual handling interventions.
Delegates will gain practical insight into how seating functions, such as rise, tilt, and recline, can be used effectively during transfers, alongside key considerations for assessment and equipment selection. The session also addresses common challenges and risks associated with poorly specified seating, offering guidance on how to enhance safety, dignity, and comfort in everyday care.
Ideal for clinicians and care professionals, this session provides immediately applicable knowledge to support safer outcomes in both community and care settings.
