Moving from A to B with ease is something many of us take for granted every day, but for some this is at best a very painful task and at worst an impossibility.

Whether it is because of the ageing process or a disability, at some time in their life many people rely on assistance to transfer from one place to another.  Nursing staff and carers are often required to assist clients with transfers from bed to chair, wheelchair to commode or chair to wheelchair for example.

Both care and client need to not just feel safe, but be safe during this process.  Nursing staff and carers also need to avoid injury during these moving and handling routines and the correct use of well designed reliable assistive products is a important step towards minimising such injuries.  Equally it is important that the person being transferred feels comfortable and secure whilst maintaining their dignity during transfer.

Handicare's moving and handling team has a wealth of experience and we keep the importance of fulfiling the needs of both the carer and the client in mind whilst recommending which of Handicare's products can be combined to give the best solution for each situation.
