What is this event?

Most Faculty of Health students and Physician Associate students need to complete practical Moving and Handling (MH) and Basic Life Support (BLS) training before they can attend practice placements.

We deliver this in block sessions in the large clinical skills rooms in the Workshop Block at the rear of the Richmond Building. Please ensure you know where this is so you can ensure you arrive on time.

To give you a degree of flexibility we have created several sessions for you to choose and book from. Please note you must only book one session.

You can sign up to any session in the week relevant to your year, cohort and programme.

The session will cover MH & BLS practical. Students can expect to be in attendance for approximately 3.5 hours which includes a short break.

(Please note some of you need to do additional Breakaway training -you will need to book this separately)

Students should have watched the videos demonstrating MH & BLS and have completed the relevant E-LfH online training prior to the session they are booked in. further information and these resources are found in the MPPPT CANVAS MODULE which you should have self-enrolled on

It is essential that students turn up on time. This event is run to a tight schedule. Any student who is late, no matter the reason, WILL NOT be able to complete their training and WILL NOT be able to attend clinical placements until this has been completed.

Additional Information:

These are clinical sessions students will need to dress as they would for clinical placement:

• clinical uniforms and appropriate flat footwear. • Long hair should be tied back

• no hats unless religious headwear or jewellery except plain wedding band; stud earrings
