Moving and handling
Assessment of transfers, hoisting, single-handed care and carer safety, with practical recommendations and training.
Equipment and seating
Assessment, prescription and review of equipment, assistive technology, domestic seating and safer ways to complete everyday activity.
Reablement and rehabilitation
Goal-focused intervention following illness, injury or a change in function, including fatigue management, falls prevention and confidence building.
Care and support reviews
Evidence-based review of functional need, care arrangements and outcomes to ensure support remains safe, person-centred and proportionate.
