Description

Proper moving and handling techniques are essential in health and social care, where carers routinely assist individuals with limited mobility. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), poor manual handling accounts for over a third of all workplace injuries in the UK. This makes moving and handling training for carers and care workers not only a legal requirement but a vital skill for ensuring safety, dignity, and wellbeing.

This CPD-accredited moving and handling course in health and social care with a free certificate from Essential Safety Training is crafted to provide carers, support workers, and healthcare professionals with the core knowledge and techniques required to transfer patients safely and confidently. Aligned with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, the moving and handling training for carers emphasises risk reduction and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries.

You’ll start with an introduction to moving and handling in health and social care settings before diving into key principles of biomechanics and ergonomics. The course covers effective risk assessment and planning, safe lifting and transferring methods, and managing potential incidents. It also focuses on person-centred care, ensuring respect and compassion during every patient interaction.

Delivered 100% online and with a 14-day money-back guarantee, the moving and handling course for carers allows you to learn at your own pace and from any device. Upon completion, you’ll earn a manual handling certificate UK, proving your readiness to deliver safe, compliant care in any healthcare environment. Enrol now to gain the essential skills that protect both you and those you care for.
