Health and social care professionals who successfully complete our popular In-house Moving and Handling Trainer course also benefit from support with their continuing professional development.
At our most recent workshop on 7 April 2025 our guests were Tim Smith from Etac and Scott Marston from Shropshire Mobility Solutions. They demonstrated a range of equipment to support people to stand and sit safely, a versatile shower/commode chair system, repositioning sheets and posture support cushions.
Both sessions were interactive and engaging, resulting in very positive feedback with lots of comments mentioning how interesting and educational the day had been.
Alison Howes, START Team Organiser for Shropshire Council, said: “I just wanted to thank you Emma and Martin [from Partners in Care] for organising the workshop today and inviting Tim and Scott. I found it really informative. Great demonstration of existing and new equipment. Looking forward to the next workshop. Thank you.”
Laura Brown, Operations/Care and Support at Greensquare Accord, said: “Thank you again for a great and informative workshop. Looking forward to the next one. We really enjoyed seeing the new pieces of equipment available and also settling some questions re the use of them. Tim was very easy to understand and answered queries well. As a result of this we have highlighted some equipment we are planning to order for our training facilities.”
