Patient Handling Workshop
May 4th at the Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver |
| Shoppers Home Health Care and WorkSafeBC
are hosting this half-day hands-on workshop for directors of
care, floor supervisors and trainers, care aides and other front
line staff who provide direct patient care. Attendees will receive
instruction from professional trainers on the use of ceiling
and floor lifts and other transfer assist devices, and will
be required to practice transfers and repositioning tasks using
the equipment. |
|
| The goal of the workshop is to improve
workers' skills using the equipment - skills they can then take
back to their facility to share with their coworkers. |
| The cost is $25. To print the registration
form, go to worksafebc.com.
