The All Wales Manual Handling Course delivered by the Health and Safety Group is an excellent and highly valuable training programme that I would strongly recommend to Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, and Care Managers. One of the standout features of the course is the pre-course learning material, which participants are required to complete in advance. This ensures that everyone arrives with a solid theoretical foundation, allowing the face-to-face session to focus on practical application and deeper understanding. The day course itself is highly interactive and engaging, with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning. The trainers incorporate a wide range of practical demonstrations, enabling participants to confidently apply safe manual handling techniques in real-world care settings. This practical focus is particularly beneficial for those working in complex care environments where safe moving and handling is critical. Another key strength of the course is the opportunity for participants to share experiences and best practices. This collaborative approach brings the training to life, encourages reflective learning, and allows professionals from different backgrounds to learn from one another. Overall, the course is well-structured, informative, and directly relevant to everyday clinical practice. It not only enhances competency in manual handling but also promotes a culture of safety, reducing the risk of injury for both staff and service users. Highly recommended for all health and social care professionals committed to delivering safe, high-quality care.
Friendly engaging trainer whose experience and stories of situations he had encountered really made the training interesting and helpful. Some of the slides for the online theory part of the course could be clearer. Thanks!
While the trainer and the course itself were very thorough, covering all aspects of theoretical and practical moving and handling, i do believe the full day is more aimed at novice health care professionals. Having been a registered nurse for 42 years, I have attended countless days like today and I feel a few hours refresher would have sufficed. The practical aspect gave everyone the opportunity to be 'hands on'; however, the bed provided was a bariatric size, making it difficult to use standard equipment. The delegates were mismatched in size which meant bed height could not be adjusted to ensure both parties were safe and comfortable. My only other concern is that I felt the group was too large to enable the trainer to assess all delegates in practice.
The trainer was brilliant. The room setup was not good/comfortable. There were no tables to write on.
The course was great and interactive. It's a confidence booster
Too long and repatative Handling slide belt not available for training
