People Moving & Handling Awareness

Fit4Work’s interactive in-house People Moving and Handling Training Courses are designed to provide delegates with the knowledge and understanding of the techniques used to safely move people to prevent injury to themselves and the person being moved. The training reduces risk, builds confidence, and supports a culture of care and safety.

It also covers the legal requirements regarding the handling of people as a profession.

If you’re considering a career involving patient care and the physical moving of people, you will be required by law to have attended a People Moving and Handling training course.

Fit4Work can provide in-house People Moving and Handling Training Courses at a time and location convenient for you.

Fit4Work’s People Moving and Handling Courses are suitable for professionals who are responsible for the moving and handling of people in hospitals, care homes, day centres, patients’ own homes and the wider community.

The course is also suitable for professionals working for nursing and healthcare agencies.

This is a highly practical day course tailored to the needs of the delegates attending. The course covers:

Fit4Work’s People Moving and Handling courses are designed to go far beyond standard, textbook training. Led by Angela Hinton – Chartered Physiotherapist and specialist in musculoskeletal health and rehabilitation – the courses blend clinical knowledge with years of hands-on experience in workplace health and safety.

Learners benefit from practical, realistic training that takes into account both safe and sometimes controversial techniques, as well as Angela’s deep understanding of the human body and how musculoskeletal injuries occur, can be prevented, and should be managed.

By including carefully adapted approaches that consider the needs of both patients and care professionals, Fit4Work ensures safer, more confident handling practices in real-world settings. This is training designed not just to meet compliance, but to equip staff with the skills and awareness to protect themselves and those they care for.

We can deliver either a half day refresher course or a full day training course at your premises. Please get in touch for a quote. Prices depend on the length of course required, the number of delegates and the location of the training.
