While Moving and Handling is a very practical subject, this course aims to enhance your knowledge in key topics in addition to any practical training you may be undertaking.  This course supports the practical training you need. It does not replace it.  The practical training will be specific to your needs, area of work, and the demands of your job.
No matter what your role is in healthcare, you need to think about how you carry out moving and handling activities at work.
