Provision of Moving and Assisting Training

Description

The Health and Social Care Partnership identified the need to review the approach to moving and handling training to ensure a robust framework is in place and there is a consistent approach across health and care staff. The implementation of the Scottish Manual Handling Passport Scheme (SMHPS) across Health and Social Care Partnerships agencies is supported by the Health and Safety Executive as can be seen by the letter to all Chief Executives of Health and Social Care in 2014. The SMHPS is an initiative that focuses on bettering the quality and consistency of moving and assisting training to reduce the risk of injury from manual handling.
