All Wales manual handling passport

Originally developed in 2003 by Health and Safety professionals to ensure high standards
and consistency of manual handling within the NHS. The scheme has now been adopted as the standard for manual handling in Wales. It enables carers to transfer their skills in moving
and handling from one organisation to another. The practical moving and handling courses
can be delivered either over one day or two and organisations can choose which option they
would prefer when booking. These are delivered at your venue and upon completion learners
receive a certificate of attendance.

The course covers:

• Legislation.
• Risk assessment.
• The impact manual handling can have on the spine.
• Practical demonstration of correct techniques.
• The correct way to use equipment.
• How to support people with poor mental health and managing your own wellbeing
  when supporting others.

Note: This course is only applicable to organisations/institutions based in Wales. The practical equipment (beds and hoists) is essential to training and will need to be made available for delegate use during this course at your venue.
