Information may not be reliable

(Milton Keynes, UK) - ECG (ecgtraining.co.uk) is proud to inform all interested medical practitioners of the availability of their Moving and Handling courses. At present, this reputable medical training provider offers three onsite instructions: Patient Handling, Safer Handling (Loads), and Safer Handling for GP and Dental Practices.

These courses are particularly beneficial for those whose daily responsibilities include repositioning patients while ensuring their safety the entire time. ECG can conduct these trainings at the participant’s preferred location. According to this company, “Our flexible, creative training is developed and delivered by qualified trainers, with professional experience of their field. We support anyone who works within the Healthcare industry, the businesses community and individuals”.

The Patient Handling course is a whole day introduction or half day update instruction which would require the participants to do a practical demonstration and answer some questions thrown by the instructor during the session. They would learn the principles of manual handling, risk assessment strategies, anatomy and spinal awareness, and the various policies relative to the responsibility they have on hand.

Safer Handling (Loads), ECG’s second moving and handling training course, is best for people who conducts manual handling or supervises this type of role in the workplace. The training is geared towards obtaining greater knowledge in manual handling. Here, the participants will be able to determine a suitable workstation layout as well as the detrimental postures often practiced by many. The delegates will also learn the different legislations involved in patient handling. These legislations include the Manual Handling Operations Regulations of 1992, Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974, as well as the Health and Safety (Offences) Act of 2008.

Lastly, for those who already have deep knowledge in manual handling, the course on Safer Handling for GP and Dental Practices is highly recommended. The learning objectives are very similar to the Safer Handling (Loads) objectives. The training will last for only three hours and would involve discussion, presentation, and an examination.

ECG has a wealth of training programs for medical professionals. They have courses on resuscitation, fire safety, infection control, first aid, clinical skills, soft skills, and many others. They conduct these programs online and on-site. To check for their availability, visit ECG’s official website, http://ecgtraining.co.uk.
