Moving & Handling People 2010 is designed to help you work together with others to promote safety and quality of service and the well being of all - the people we care for and those who deliver care.

This event is a key element in personal development and offers a professional update in one event. It recognises the vital role that workers have to play in safeguarding the well-being of those with reduced capabilities whilst maintaining their own health and safety in practice.

Overall, Moving & Handling People 2010 brings together expertise to address the challenges of working in this area of service provision and in the promotion of safer handling.

The moving and handling of people is a practical science, so the programme reflects the practical nature of handling people and provides a comprehensive exhibition which serves to underpin safe practice through the use of a wide range of products and handling techniques.

The pre-conference New Products workshops give attendees an additional opportunity to view and try new products with the benefit of experienced practitioners and suppliers available to give advice and information.

This event represents a practical guide for hands-on practitioners and strategic leads responsible for identifying new products and recommending equipment to reduce the risk of work related musculoskeletal injury.

This is a must-attend date for your diary if you are involved in any of the following:

  • Bringing legislation & professional guidance together to develop comptetencies for those providing care
  • Providing and managing a moving and handling training and advisory service
  • Responsible for moving and handling risk assessments, education and training
  • Providing specialised advice to prevent work related musculoskeletal disorders caused by handling people
  • Implementing effective policies and training/educational programmes to engaging managers and frontline staff in promoting safer practice
  • Workplace assessments and getting staff back into work

The event provides an excellent networking opportunity to meet practitioners and suppliers.

Delegates are invited to attend an informal drinks reception at the end of the first day of the main conference on the 28 January on the exhibition floors.
