Most care providers have a policy stating you must have two staff to mobilise a resident using moving & handling equipment. The panel will take you through the unique journey of a London care home that has started on its journey of assessing its residents to see if they can be suitably managed using Single-Handed Care. The presentation will take you from concept and implementation, through to data collection and lessons learnt along the way as well as next steps, addressing the common myths: It’s against the law; Is it safe?; Our policy states; Our Insurance says; and many more, showing you a way to safely implement single-handed care within care homes as well as the benefits to service users through evidence and case studies.
