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 very engaging and kept attention of group. It would have been useful to have copies of slides as some were rushed over - perhaps appropriately It was unfortunate that the hoist was not working and feels unprofessional that we could get signed off without that experience.
