As Physiotherapists we undertake a range of tasks that could put us out our clients at risk due to our handling practices. This session will delve into Risk Management through considering Care Plan/Transfer Plan development, case studies showing where Risk Controls have been successful in reducing hazardous Manual tasks, but also some instances where injuries (or worse) have occurred. This is the third in the People Handling series and follows on from the legislation season that was presented in the first webinar of this series.
