Moving and handling, or safe patient handling as it is often referred to, is one of the fundamental skills which any healthcare worker needs to master. Much damage can be done through poor moving an handling techniques. The aim of this site is to keep the subject foremost in the mind of the readers. The newsletter was initially sent out to 150 individuals. Now, through word of mouth, it has gained thousands of regular readers. If you have any questions or would like to see something specific in the newsletter, please get in touch.


It is much more than a newsletter though. It also serves as a portal to become or refresh your skills as a moving and handling trainer. Most of my productions are free in the form of the newsletter but please show your support for the site by getting involved in the refresher training and / or initial instructor training.


If you would like to sponsor the site, rates are the most reasonable in the publishing world. Please view the rates page.
