Beyond comfort: the clinical impact of specialist seating
Seating is more than just comfort—it plays a crucial role in supporting posture, pressure care, and overall well-being. This webinar explores the clinical considerations behind prescribing specialist seating, helping you navigate key factors such as postural support, pressure management, and individual fit. Using case-based reasoning, we’ll discuss how different seating solutions can enhance independence, reduce risk, and improve outcomes for service users with complex needs.

Manual handling: a 24-Hour approach with Carole Johnson
In this webinar, we’ll explore two people with complex postural and manual handling needs (one adult, one child). The aim will be to encourage and balance safe manual‑handling practices day and night while maintaining autonomy, dignity and protecting these vulnerable individuals in a less than perfect world.
