A manual handling adviser in Malawi
A long ambition was realised in February 2023 to volunteer with a charity that supports children and adults abroad. Being part of a team dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of fellow human beings is both an honour and delight. Two weeks can change your life forever and be the start of a long term inspirational collaboration in a far off continent.
Learning Outcomes
- Gain an insight into therapy and handling amongst some of the poorest communities in Malawi
- Understand the importance of developing flexibility and innovation in our work
- Have the opportunity to be inspired by other people living a very different life to those in the UK

The Presto reveal: our brand-new innovation
Something brand new is coming from Accora- and you can see it first.
The Presto is our groundbreaking innovation: the only bed on the market built around the entire equipment pathway, from prescription and delivery through to installation, maintenance and long-term use.
This session gives you a first look at how a single bed now covers ultra-low to full nursing height, moves and folds in under 30 seconds, and brings postural positioning, pressure area management and a memory function together in one solution- none of it shown publicly before.
The training will be delivered by Jayne Brewer, Occupational Therapist and Nicholas Drake, Category Lead. All attendees will receive a CPD certificate on completion.
Join us live to see the reveal, ask your questions in real time, and be among the very first to see what Presto means for service users, prescribers, technicians, warehouse teams and commissioners.
