Scottish Manual Handling Forum 2 Day Conference - 22nd to 23rd May 2024

The superbly reviewed Scottish Manual Handling Conference will be held on the 22nd and 23rd May 2024 at our favourite venue - the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel, Glasgow.

We warmly welcome anyone who has an interest in manual handling to attend our popular biennial event.

From any profession, sector and at any stage in your experience of manual handling, we have a mixed programme that offers learning to those newly starting out and to those who are more experienced within their industry. The SMHF core group are from different sectors and have endeavoured to represent the varied workplaces in the conference programme. This is the perfect opportunity to network, meet new peers, catch up with old colleagues and share ideas and experiences with those within similar vocations.

The conference is supported by over 30 fantastic exhibitors and there will be ample time each day to spend speaking to the company representatives and trying out the equipment they have on offer.

Our program includes speakers from different sectors of health and social care and industry. With interactive and practical workshops, we will be covering a wide range of topics including object handling, complex risk assessment and care of people with particular conditions.
