Manual Handling Healthcare: Patient Handling

Description

Patient handling, if carried out improperly can cause needless physical stress and exertion among nurses and caregivers. The physical and financial costs of improper patient handling can be severe. This Manual Handling Healthcare Patient Handling course will assist your workers to recognize the immense risks present in patient handling and how to minimize those risks.

Once the course is completed, you will have learned the benefits of a “no-lift” policy, the most effective way to eliminate or minimize many of the risks associated with patient handling. You’ll have also learned about the various lifting aids and how to use them safely. This course is one part of a 6-part Manual Handling Healthcare series aimed at clinical and non-clinical healthcare workers.

Our purpose back then was to produce a range of generic workplace training videos that would be marketed to Corporate, Educational and Governmental organisations around Australia and New Zealand.

In fact, the name Channel 1 was decided on because that was where Australians used to access their video cassette recorders on their televisions sets in 1990.

For the first 13 years of our existence, until 2003, Channel 1 also managed the entire production and placement of all advertising for JB Hi Fi. Having produced roughly 400 television commercials over that period as well as countless radio ads, press ads and catalogues certainly armed us with a unique ability to “sell the message”.

Move forward 28 years and not only do we boast a suite of over 300 generic training videos and online eLearning training programs but Channel 1 is now the preferred choice of many large and small Australian organisations for corporate video production.

A key focus for us has been workplace health and safety, staff development as well as sales and customer service training videos. Many of these videos are now available in self paced online learning.
