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.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Recognise the holistic needs of the person and those involved in their care.
- Engage in structured decision‑making using interactive discussion to evaluate options
- Consider the boundaries and options in our roles. Should we go 'above and beyond' or risk making promises we cannot keep in order to meet the person's needs
- Translate learning from these case studies into our own situations.

Pain management that works
In this session we will explore the prevalence and causes of pain in older adult residents and how that pain affects them in terms of cognitive, emotional and physical health and safety. We will look more closely at the relationship between pain and pressure ulceration in terms of increased risk and more challenging management, and explore management options including pharmacological, non-pharmacological and self-management.
