Webinar: Standing Transfers: A Comprehensive Guide to Supporting Mobility with Essential Equipment
Date: 28th October 2024
Time: 3.00 pm – 3.45 pm
We’re pleased to present this webinar on standing transfers.
As mobility declines, standing transfers become more complex, requiring careful consideration of the appropriate support and equipment. This webinar is designed for occupational therapists and carers who want to enhance their skills in performing standing transfers safely and effectively. With the help of Ben Salmen, Training Manager at HME Limited, we will explore scenarios where passive assistance isn’t sufficient, focusing on when and how to provide physical support.
Starting with assisted standing techniques that require no equipment, the session will gradually introduce a range of standing aids, including turners and fully mechanical stand aids. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the types of equipment available, their specific applications, and best practices for their use as a person’s mobility needs evolve. Whether you’re new to the field or looking to refine your approach, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to support individuals through the complexities of standing transfers.
