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.
