Optimised handling or ‘single handed care’ approach is no longer just a vision, it is a reality being implemented internationally. A key element of an optimised handling program is through the implementation of assistive technology that enables the safe moving or transferring of an individual with minimal carers. This training session will educate you on the prescription of the Molift Gantry Hoist so that you feel confident in recommending and educating your clients and their caregivers on the effective use of this piece of assistive technology.
