Moving and assisting of people Reviews

Patricia was very engaging. She appeared extremely knowable and was able to offer lots of practical applications and examples of the points being taught. She have confidence when new skills were being taught abs was very thorough in ensuring that skills were demonstrated fully and correctly.

A very swift refresher of lots of equipment/glide sheets etc.

Helpful and supportive trainer. Probably could do training in 2 hours

Refresher course. Informative.

I really enjoyed the training, the environment was relaxed however the trainer was very professional and informative. The content covered was relevant and I was reminded of the correct moving and assisting techniques as well as been shown how to use different equipment to safely move and assist the people I support. I feel that the bed was unsuitable for practical training and demonstrations. On more than one occasion during the training, the bed tipped whilst in use which is obviously unsafe. I don't think that this sets a very good example for not only new members of staff but also, staff who are new to moving and assisting. Also, the hoist was not in proper working order which again does not set a very good example to new staff and goes against everything that the training teaches.

The course was refreshing, learnt more new things and made corrections to what we have been doing right. Course was worth it.
