If you look after someone who has an illness or disability, you may need to help them move around, for example:
In the bedroom
- getting in or out of bed
- turning over in bed
- sitting up in bed
In the bathroom
- bathing
- showering
- using the toilet
Elsewhere
- sitting in a chair
- standing
- walking
- getting up from the floor after a fall
- getting in and out of a vehicle
It's essential to know about safe moving and handling so you don't hurt yourself or the person you care for.
The most common injuries carers get are back injuries. Injuring your back will limit your movement and your ability to care for someone. It could take a long time for you to recover.
Accessing this FREE Moving & Assisting Training can equip you with the knowledge and confidence to help the person you care for as well as yourself.
