Moving
& Handling
Healthcare staff have, for many years, suffered
back injuries due to incorrect lifting of patients. Such
injuries are not just very costly for the state but painful
and unpleasant for the individual. The evolving legislation
governing the lifting of patients has driven forward a lot
of creative thinking into ways of easily transferring a
person who can stand, but not walk, from one seated position
to another, as well as for transporting the persons short
distances, for toileting etc.
Sweden has again lead the way in this patient handling field
by developing and introducing a range of simple patient
turners and transport aids. This form of simple transfer
solution has benefited not only the medical and care staff
working in institutions, but has also had a significant,
positive impact on the home care environment whereby people
may be cared for at home for considerably longer than was
hitherto possible.
