Moving & Handling Newsletter

Issue 2-1




Welcome to the first edition of the second volume of this moving and handling newsletter. This issue has rather unintentionally focused on patient’s (4 in all) who have died as a result of incorrect or inappropriate moving and handling. As usual the stories come from around the globe.


To continue, select any of the stories to the right of this introduction. When you are ready to move on, you will see a continue button                   in the top right of each story. Click this and you will be returned to this page.


Next months newsletter looks like it is going to be a special edition relating to obesity, so if this is your field, keep a look out one month from now.
